[TriLUG] Cyclades terminal server

[Ron Kelley via TriLUG]

Maybe I missed it, but what exactly is the problem?  Are you using ssh from a remote machine to your Cyclades terminal server but not getting a login prompt?

In the past, we used “telnet <cons_server> <port_num>”  to get these working.  Something like “telnet 172.16.1.10 2003”
