Umm... even cheaper... assuming you don't want actual ethernet framing
you can buy little adapters, or make them, that take an rj45 and turn it
into db9..i have tons of these things..any parts place should have
them..

but a terminal server would mean only one run and handle all the boxes.

just a cheap thought

^D

ps: 10 points for anyone who knows what the 'rj' part of rj45 stands
for.  and another 10 for 'bnc'   if you google you're cheating.
