[SunRescue] Can someone tell me what I just bought please?

[Martin Wedel sr]

ALM = Asynchronous Line Multiplexer. I have 3, they make great wall art. 
(yes I'm single)

I suppose if I could find the cables to break off the ports (50-pin 3 row 
D connector), I could hang some of the vt220s I picked up at a liquidation
auction a while back off of it....
