I'm going to order a whole bunch of null-modem cables and wire them

DS to another?

I don't know if the DECserver 200 allows you to hook up system consoles.
I know that my 90L+ does not. :-( One problem I see is that you have to
boot the DECserver 200 via MOP if I remember correctly before you can
use it.


Yes, you can use a DS200 for consoles. I used to have one doing just
that for quite a few systems.

You can mop boot it from link you know ... search for "mopd"


That should have bee Linux, not link, sorry.

... it's too early.

Yes, and netbsd too which is what I was doing till the dang thing died
on me. However, phoenix from the flames and all that ;) I'm keen to see
how much faster I can get the VT520 talking to the 90M.
