I've used a few of the Avocent console servers [0] [1]. model ACS48 has 48 serial ports model ACS8 has 8 serial ports I've only ever seen single power supply ACS48s in person, but apparently there was a dual AC PSU model. I have worked with a dual AC PSU ACS8 though. Both models have a single 48MHz CPU (I don't recall which architecture) running MontaVista Linux. I don't recall how much memory they have, but it isn't all that much. They are sloowwww to boot @ 48 MHz. ;-) So there's one Fast Ethernet port on the front nearby its console port (and to the right of the serial ports for devices) and two PCMCIA slots on the back for cellular cards and what not. Unfortunately we've not put the PCMCIA slots to any considerable use. The ACS units I used are fairly old and all, but it appears there is an SDK [2] Avocent acquired Cyclades in 2006 [3], so some devices are branded Cyclades ACS48 and not Avocent/AlterPath ACS48.
