If you want to use the conserver package, the only thing to keep in mind is that the server part of the software wants to see local devices, this might exclude some of the terminal servers out there. (The Etherlite comes with drivers that makes it appear as local devices on a Solaris box)
This is not true. We use a version of the conserver package which works with either local ports, or with "telnet ts-1 5016" type of terminal server ports.
We have used the following Ethernet-based terminal servers with this software with much success:
- Cisco 2511
- Xylogics Micro-Annex & Annex-3
- IOLAN+ rack-mount
I know someone was able to get conserver to work on a Sun (Solaris) and using a portmaster for the physical connections. I do know he had to work on it for quite a while to get it work...
We use Portmasters for console access. It's a pretty basic setup and the things just plain work... can't really argue against reliability... :)
