We use Avocent ACS & TS series terminal servers for both our AIX &
Solaris machines(They used to be Cyclades but I believe Avocent bought
Cyclades). They are easy to setup and are basically a solid state
linux box using Hard Hat Linux. We have 1 ACS and 2 TS series. We
have not had a problem with them yet. The only thing you need to
remember is the OS is stored in flash memory area, so, when you make
any kind of change, you need to make sure you save the configuration
before you boot.
