Sure...do just like you said, have the server with the Hard Drive, all you
need on your workstations is some copy of a Terminal program, Telix,
ProCom+ and other such Term Programs. You would link these to the server
VIA Serial channels. Use whatever you choose for a Multi-Port Card. I
myself use a G-Tek Intel. 8-port card for my serial clients, and a Western
Digital Ethernet card. But that is what I use.!
Have a good one!
