Hi, I've written an application that I think would be a good candidate for becoming part of the ports tree. It's called comserv, and it allows one to access network terminal server serial ports via /dev device file entries. I use it to access serial consoles for several of my FreeBSD machines, as well as to access to my eeprom burner and several other serial devices. These are attached to my el-cheapo Xyplex MAXserver 1600's I bought off e-bay. From the pkg-descr file: "The comservd program provides a facility to access network terminal server serial ports, such as those available on Xyplex terminal server models, via /dev device file entries. This allows programs such as tip(1) to access devices connected to the terminal server serial ports." I've rolled this into a port. However, this is my first one and I was hoping someone here with experience at this could give me a review before I pull the pin and commit. The distfile is currently in my public_distfiles directory on freefall. I copied it there a short while ago and I don't know what the schedule is for copying these to the MASTER_SITE_LOCAL area, but you can get it from here if necessary: http://people.freebsd.org/~bsd/comserv-1a.tgz Please find the shar for the port below. I appreciate any feedback you can provide. Thanks! -Brian -- Brian Dean bsd@FreeBSD.org bsd@bsdhome.com # This is a shell archive.
