Re: terminal server for vax?

[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup]

Hoff Hoffman <hoff-remove-this@xxxxxx> spake the secret code
<c1W1g.6628$lN3.1015@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> thusly:

Every "DECserver" I've seen is a terminal server, but there are a
number of "DECgizmo" devices around, and some of these can have very
similar names.

Yes, I wouldn't want to confuse "DECserver" with "VAXserver" as these
are two very different things! :-)

I've seen very little DIGITAL iron with a RJ45 for asynchronous
serial communications -- there were probably a few, but I don't recall
any off-hand.

Well, when I was looking at the DECserver 90M manual I found on
archive.org, it described RJ45 connectors and their pinouts. It was
most definately not MMJ.

However, while looking at pictures of units on ebay, its clear that
some are MMJ, some are RJ45 and some are DB25.

The classic DECconnect parts were the DB9 [...]

I haven't seen any pictures yet of a terminal server with DB9 style
ports on the back. There is a DB9 style port on the back of all of
these DECserver units, but it is a single port, presumably for a
maintenance console type thing, and not used on the ports for the
individual terminals.

[...] The RJ45 was mostly used with and for NICs, as is obviously
still the case -- not usually for asynchronous serial comms.

I've seen it used for serial devices before, but not on DEC equipment
until now.
