If I have the wrong mailing list, please let me know. I have tried -questions with no luck. Is there a way to use FreeBSD as a serial mux? What I want to do is replace an existing leased line that is connected to serial multiplexers with a more modern WAN (TCP/IP) connection. The downside is that I still need to provide the serial muxing connection. So really what I need is a way to remotely run some terminals that are proprietary enough to not have emulation, as in serial in one server and serial out the other server. This seems useful enough that I would be surprised is someone has not already done it (without requiring some expensive terminal servers!) Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. -James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
