Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Message-Id: <20030116164708.67AEC43EB2@mx1.FreeBSD.org> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, seeing laptops without serial ports, I was wondering if FreeBSD would know who to use a "USB to Serial Cable" (like, fo eg, http://www.usbgear.com/usa/item_288.html - USB to Serial RS-232 DB-9 Adapter Cable 6ft). then, is it another USB thing that gets specific thing over the USB part (like Archos JukeBox gets ISD-200 under the USB umass part ; and then you need FreeBSD support for ISD-200) this is to ask, do I have to buy the "USB to Serial cable" of a specific brand or doesn't this matter like it doesn't for normal serial cable or RJ45/Network cable ? same questions for things like DELL racks/docks - does anyone have it working with FreeBee ?
