Because you seemed to want to build hardware to do it!? Neither additional hardware nor software should be necessary to do what you said in the first line of your message: "I would like to create IP connectivity from PC serial port to router serial port directly." > Maybe I should read the > archives.

There was that old story about running TCP/IP on the sewer system. Gave a whole new meaning to IP and ICMP. ;-) > > Anyway, that USB pdf link site is down and I can't access it > now.

I'm not sure it had considered an entire hub of devices connected though. USB hub usually just means a hub that lets you locally connect USB devices when you've run out of USB ports on your machine. I guess you have in mind a hub that also connects to the Ethernet. > USB port.

Well, Windows has figured out how to bind TCP/IP to the serial port (my original comment), so it's doable certainly.
