Jon,
Try the CS-508 (8-port) or CS-516 (16-port). I think there's an even older
something (ASM?) too. You should be able to get the CS-508/516 for $200-300
on Ebay... a lot cheaper than a 2509. Problem is its not flash upgradable
and the software is pretty old (think 10.x is the last available). You
could try TFTP booting it.
I believe you might be able to do this too if you had a router with async
interfaces (such as a 2521 with 10 serial ports... could use its 2 serial,
2 low-speed for Frame-Relay switching and the remaining 6 low-speed if you
can get it wired correctly - but the cables needed would add to the cost!).
Regards,
Adrian
