As the number of terminals increases you might want to investigate the
possibility of terminal driving units connected to the main box, like
this:

----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
| T | | T | | T | | T | | T | | T |
----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
|______ | ______| |______ | ______|
| | | | | |
----- -----
| D | | D |
----- -----
|_______________________|

-----
| L |

T=Terminal
D=Terminal driving unit
L=Linux box
