[TriLUG] Cyclades terminal server

[Greg Mueller via TriLUG]

I configured a lot of these back in the day and because I never delete
anything I have the manuals for these.

I found this:

Open an SSH session to one of the ACS console server’s ports
          # ssh john:7001 at acs48-2.cyclades.com

Let me know if that works for you and if you need the PDF files.
