I had one reply, thanks Randall Cruz, but that didn't clear the problem up.
After much, erm, angst shall we say, I tracked the problem down to the
RJ45->DB25 connector we were using. After some screwdriver related violence
directed at the plugs I discovered that there are quite a few different
pinout variations and that tripped us up.
We're now in the process of rewiring a few so they will work :)

Tony

Subject: Equinox/ELS-16 Terminal Server Issues
Hi managers.
I'm having a rather annoying problem with Equinox ELS-16 terminal servers. I
have a couple of these to place in our datacentres so for any reason I can
bounce onto the console of our Sun boxes from work.
The problem is as follows.
We configured the term server in our office to talk to a E250 (Solaris 9) we
have here. That all worked fine so we took the TS out to our datacentre,
stuck it in the rack, changed the IP/Gateway and connected the serial ports
to our machines out there. This includes a 2x V880's, 1 Netra X1 and 1 V100.
Telneting to the TS's ip and using the respective port 3001-3016 we run into
problems.
Basicially we can connect fine but we get nothing displayed. No login
screen, nada. However if I leave the connection open for a period of time
and I do something via a ssh session that produces a message that goes to
the console, a SU for example, it will show on the screen.

root at somebox:~# telnet 3003
Trying 10.0.254.5...
Connected to 10.0.254.5.
Escape character is '^]'.
SU 10/03 14:38 + pts/2 tonyj-root

If I connect as above and I kill the console process:
---
root at targetbox:/# ps -ef |grep console
root 900 1 0 11:53:05 console 0:00 /usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p
winston console login: -T sun -d /dev/console -l
---
I get the following:
---
root at somebox:~# telnet 10.0.254.5 3003
Trying 10.0.254.5...
Connected to 10.0.254.5.
Escape character is '^]'.

I'm a bit stumped and playing with the various port options on the TS seem
to bring me no joy. Any help would be appreciated. I'll Summarise if I can
get it fixed :)
Kind regards
