I'd say an openbsd box with a coulke of 8-port usb-cereal (or a

couple of puc(4)s) saves a ton of headaches over any so-called terminal

server (translation to english: little stupid very limited box that

either is is old and runs something weird proprietary or is somewhat

recent and expensive and runs something weird proprietary they call

linux and sucks in any case).
