Define terminal server.  When I set up a terminal server it has several 
comm ports added (like 20 or so) and each one is connected to a machine so 
I can use a terminal program to connect though the serial ports in case the 
ethernet dies or such.  Console connections.   Or do you mean the other way 
around where the central server does all the real work and the 'terminals' 
are just like 386's used for their boot-ability and input/output value 
(mouse, keyboard and monitor)?
