Re: telnet based device support

Hi Jim,

I recall that a terminal server driver and device support was written at
Gemini.

In a tech-talk posting back in 1998, Maren Purves wrote
We're using drvAscii/drvSerial with Bret Goodrich's tnetdev, running
our serial line devices on a terminal server, over Ethernet. This
works even to the point that some time ago we had the serial line
devices at the telescope with the VME crate in Hilo.

This might help you.
