[rescue] Multipe serial lines from Sun?

[vraptor at employees.org]

Folks--

I'm looking for a reasonably priced solution to
the following problem.

We have an Ultra II that I am part of a volunteer
admin team for.  We recently had two HW RAID units
donated to us, and we need to talk to them for config/
monitoring purposes via serial lines.

Since the majority of the admin team does not have
access to the hardware, our initial idea was to
put a multi-port serial card in the U2.  Fellow
admins used this type of card at one of my previous
sys admin jobs for the same purpose.  The only
such card I've found is made by Aurora, and runs
~$700 with the requisite break-out cable.
Unfortunately, this is really too steep for our
little nest egg of donations to handle.

We may have access to a Cisco CS-500, so I am thinking
that might work hanging off of serial B on the U2...

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance--
