- Alternatively, you can use Telnet to connect to the console port on a
- Decserver 300 (or any other terminal server that does supports telnet).
- In _my_ environment, I find that connecting to and using the remote
- console port of a terminal server is _much_ faster when using telnet
- from a SUN Sparcstation 2, as compared to connecting via NCP from a
- VAX 6210. Probably has something to do with the CPUs. ;-)
