Thank you a lot for your feedback! Now to the real question again, because I'm a little confused now - can I still get a usb-to-serial port converter having let's say 8 serial ports and then connect each machine to the usb-to-serial hub and manage them remotely from a single location (the host having the usb-to-serial hub)? That way I just specify a serial port number and I get to a specific machine? The model provided by Boris looks nice, and that was my initial idea, but I'm not sure if I could get it working under FreeBSD. Is conserver or conserver-com able to handle this? I know that cu uses COM1 only, but will conserver able to handle serial consoles on different ports, since the usb-to-serial port would appear as multiple serial ports. Thank you and regards, Marin On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 7:04 PM, Boris Samorodov <bsam@ipt.ru> wrote: > On Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:14:44 +0200 Marin Atanasov wrote: > > > I'm thinking about the following situation - 1 system acting like a host > > with a serial port hub, each port of the hub is connected to a different > > machine on sio0, using null modem cables. > > Along with milti-io serial cards we use multi-usb serial > converters, such as SUNIX UTS7009P (7 USB to serial adapter): > http://www.sunix.com.tw/it/en/LinkCraft/UTS4009P_UTS7009P.htm > > -- > WBR, Boris Samorodov (bsam) > Research Engineer, http://www.ipt.ru Telephone & Internet SP > FreeBSD Committer, http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve > -- Marin Atanasov Nikolov dnaeon AT gmail DOT com daemon AT unix-heaven DOT org
