Experiences Programming on Cyclades Term Servers?
Sunda666 writes "I just got my hands on the Cyclades TS800, which is a terminal server with 8 high-performance serial ports, and 1 fast ethernet port that happens to run MontaVista's Hard Hat Linux. This thing has a small RAM (16Mb) some SSD (8MB), and a PPC@48MHz processor. We plan to develop apps (mostly serial-to-eth gateway software, but anything goes) for it, and I'd like to have some feedback from the Slashdot crowd of sucess/failure histories, hints and stuff. So far I'm loving the little blue thing (embedded webserver, ssh, nfs, and RAS software - almost all open source!) - sweet." Sounds like a sharp little machine. How we do these things perform in production?
