An eight- or 16-port terminal server that provides native serial access to a TCP/IP host regardless of where the users are on the network, the PortServer (from $1595) eases serial port configuration and management. The server lets you connect workgroups or clusters of as many as 16 asynchronous RS-232 serial I/O devices to any Ethernet network that's running the TCP/IP protocol. From DigiBoard (Eden Prairie, MN), the PortServer uses the company's Net C/X protocol software and includes 1 MB of RAM with a throughput rate of up to 38.4 Kbps. The PortServer's front-panel display enables system administrators to track network and asynchronous line activity and monitor the status of attached devices.

is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
