Need recommendations on a terminal server setup

Alright,

I'm getting ready to make my 11/23+ available online for people to play
with, but I'm a bit stumped as far as how I should attach the serial
lines to my Ethernet network.

Now, I have a Sun server running Solaris 10 which I was able to connect
a couple serial lines to and then tunneled that through a telnet port,
but I'd rather not do that...with the setup I'm thinking of, we're
talking about a whole lot of cable running into that box.

Does anyone here have suggestions on what I should use for a terminal
server?  If I could just mount a DECserver box in my PDP-11 chassis that
would be great, but isn't the Ethernet port DECnet-only?

I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to this, so feel free to
correct me.

As always, any help is appreciated

Julian
