TCPMeta MacModder Registered: 11/15/07 Posts: 1797 Loc: Florida, USA	I scored two Wyse wy-55 network terminals from the local McDonald's. I wonder is theres a way to convert the 25pin serial to USB then control the terminal from my iMac and vice versa. Sadly I didn't find any keyboards for them, they use a RJ9 phone like connector for the keyboard. I rewired a old PS\2 keyboard but it doesn't like it. To me this would be handy for my gaming server so I can have the server term window running on the terminal instead of the server's main display. _________________________ To live is to let die
