Two options exsist.... 1. Local Apps these can access the clients the clients serial ports. 2. ser2net which turns the serial port into a network port kind of useful you can set this up in the thin clients rc.local and just connect to the port. see http://ser2net.sourceforge.net/ its quick and simple and saves too much messing around with the thin client. In both case you do need to load the serial ports into the kernel MODULE_01 = "serport" for version 2.6 kernals LTSP 4.1 needs MODULE_01="serial" since it uses a 2.4 kernal. just add it to your lts.conf In my case I wanted to access a legacy system (a bull dps6 over serial) in the end I gave up as the only terminal emulate was for windows and needed wine on the server (it did how ever work when it felt like it).
