Anyone know if you can get a 'Serial' Console using usb instead of a serial port? I don't really care about having a console at boot up but it would be a bonus.
The only documentation I can find is about using the serial port.
USB Just doesn't work that way.
I have a USB -> Serial adaptor that doesn't appear to have any electronics or smarts, just a redirection of the wires.
I too would like to know why USB can not function as a serial port controller. Anyone ?
This is my first question to the list, I hope I can help someone else sometime although I'm a Unix "baby".
