we had a setup that sounds similar at canada connect corp in1992. We built our own backplain, each unit had 16 cards, if I remember correctly. The interconnect for 4 of those was DIY, built with #NetBSD ... In time, about 1994/95 we built terminal server boards (first ISA, the PCI)... Jonathan Levine did most of the hardware design and Herb Peyerl, the software. Our mail server was a massive sgi server with 8 cpus. And 5 inch disk sleds.
