Subject: Re: [OT ish] Software for 3COM CS/2600 Terminal Server

I've contacted the guy selling the CS on the offchance.... I did find one UK
supplier with the necessary software in stock.  Bearing in mind that this
product was obsolete in 1996, would anyone like to guess how much they
wanted to charge me for the 3.5" disk-based software? £257.89!!!

I guess I'm resigned to dumping the CS/2600 and using a different approach.
I'm a little like a bulldog though - once I've taken a grip of something I'm
*really* loathe to let go!

My intention, once I've gotten a suitable terminal server up and running is
to host a project similar to the lads@..., albeit with 8-bit
micro's instead of time-sharing supercomputers!

I've written a PHP based website that would allow people to "book out" the
computers for 20 minute blocks and telnet into them.  Just need that disk
for the pesky CS/2600 and I'm laughing! ;-)

I have found 3Com most helpful in the past, you just need to get past the
'automatic' part of the help system. Try an actual written letter to 3Com
UK. It might just be worth it.
