I've thought about going that route, but I've heard stories about
buggy adaptors.  Now that I have most of my vaguely modern machines on
ethernet, I've also thought about a small terminal server.  For years
I've been lusting after a 3b2, but those seem pretty rare.  My
favorite but most power-hungry solution would be a VME board with 20
or so ports on it, supported by SunOS 4.  That would give me the excuse
I need to get my 4/110 running. ;-)

Ouch!  A friend of mine is from Farmington, and he's got horror
stories of the TV stations up there.
