Now i am curious to get hold of some DEC terminals and see how many i can hook up to a desktop computer once i stuff it with serial port cards.

You don't stuff it with serial cards, you add serial concentrators like the HP-2345A to your network.

You can add dozens and dozens of ports that way, for cheap!
