    Hi All
    
    
    	I am working on a government proposal and I need to ask a
    configuration question.   Excuse me if it seems simple....I am not a 
    networks person.
    
    
    1)  I have a requirement for PCM functionality.  The target system is 
        an AlphaServer 8400 5/300.  8 CPUs, 2 GB Memory.  This is the only
        system that I need to manage.  I was assuming the following:
    
    
    
    		8400----------------WHAT DEVICE-------------AlphaStation
    				   goes here????	    200 4/100
    
        The 8400 will be managed by the Workstation (AS 200 4/100).  How
    can I for the least amount of dollars connect the console port to this
    workstation?  Do I need some DECserver device here?  What is the
    minimum configuration I can have on the workstation?  REalize that I
    need lowest possible cost.  
    
    THANKS A BUNCH FOR ANY POINTERS...

|     Lisa,
    
        If all you are managing is one system and the system is not in
    close proximity, then yes, you will need a termianl server. You can 
    get the 90tl which should be our lowest cost terminal server.
    (Actually, it's a server for a printer to be on the net). I assume that
    the system will ne running either VMS or Unix.
