If he wants more ports in Cisco gear I believe that he will have to go with octopus cables. Think NM-async modules for 2600/3600 series. I know 32 port modules exist. Several years ago I bought a 10' octal cable from Robert Lowery [EMAIL PROTECTED] The extra length might help. I don't know if Bob is still selling cables - he also sold back-to-back serial cables. About a month ago there was a post on this list about a Livingston Portmaster being used as a terminal server. Apparently very reasonable on eBay. Think 30 ports. The one I've seen had DB-25 connections.
