The TS1000 with 17 asynchronous RS-232 (RJ-45F) ports and one 100Mbps Ethernet is pretty nice. It runs a Linux 2.4 kernel, on a PowerPC chip and has loads of functionality (SNMP, SSHv2, HTTPS, Radius etc.)

Unfortunately, as there is no universal standard for running RS-232 using 8 pin RJ-45 connectors and 8 wire cables (i.e. CAT-5 Ethernet), you may have some work cut out for you when it comes to connecting your terminal server and your servers. You might be able to buy appropriate cables, but they will be expensive relative to the cost of the used terminal server itself.

One way to avoid the cost of proprietary cables is to make your own RJ-45M to DB-9F adapters. This will enable you to use any straight through 8 wire cable you happen to have.
