[AusNOG] Console server question.

[Sean K. Finn]

I have a vintage Xenix manual here, which has a section devoted to the Stallion serial cards, still in half-a4-size vintage 3 ring binder.

I have had to hide this several times from the wife otherwise it would have hit the junk heap by now.

Still, goes to show you that the gear was so good that more than likely it was responsible for the operating system sales, rather than the other way around.

I mean, back in the old days, mainframe was really all about serial for the majority of its life anyway.

And if you are prepared to show your age, it's many of the same team that worked on the Stallion serial port boards in those long lost days of serial connections and modems hanging out of Linux (or even Xenix) boxes.


David - feeling old.  Time for a bex and a good lie down ;)
