hi,

I'm thinking of building a consoleserver using some older i386 (486/66
or pentium 100 or so) and putting in some multi-serial boards serving
my graphics and keyboardless sun E250's and E450's. What would be a
recommended hardware setup for such a machine. I could get a cyclades
8-YO or 8-YOP (expensive) or some VScom VS-800 (not so expensive) -
theese seem to be supported in NetBSD.

I *have* a specialix sx-32 EISA board, which was used in an old
SCO-machine - but there's no driver for such a beast in NetBSD...

what would you recommend?

thanks in advance,
