I use xylogics ANNEX terminal servers daily for my business and I love
them.
But what you want to try, I have no idea how to do.
Good luck, just a recommendation on the termservers.

Henrik,
We're doing that using exactly the same hardware.
We use a package created by Ohio State, which is free :-), and we use an annex terminal server which we then reverse telnet into from the console server.
Included is the README and the LISA paper in ascii form.
If you need the whole package I can send it to you or you can ftp it from ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu in /pub/console-server.
Or contact Steve Romig at Ohio State:

There are several versions that are available for anonymous ftp - our version is on ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu in /pub/console-server. There's also a version at iastate.edu somewhere - they took a version from purdue and added support for kerberos and a few other things to it. You might want to use that instead. Both versions work basically the same way.
