[SunHELP] Serial Output via Ethernet wire

[Peter Stokes]

Hi

The only way I have seen this done is with a terminal server which accepts
telnet sessions such as Xylogics/Emulex products (pretty old now). There are
still term servers around and you may pickup one on one of the auctions for
a fraction of their new price.

Regards

Serial Output via Ethernet wire

I have a small collection of Sun machines in a closet.  I'd like to access
their serial ports from my desk.  I have an unused Ethernet cable run
between the two.

What's the best way (Is there a way?) to pipe the output from the various
serial ports on the sun computers via the Ethernet run to my desk?

(fwiw, my previous solution to this was to have a conduit running from the
server space to my workstation in the next office and a real long serial
cable.  I've been moved.)
