I need to talk to a Cisco 2600. It has an RJ-45 jack on it, and it comes with an RJ-45 to D9 cable. My laptop does not have a D9 serial port.
I know that I can buy a USB to serial dongle. However, in theory I can just tell my computer to speak serial out my ethernet port. Is there a driver that does this? I'm running Ubuntu Hardy, but I'm curious if it exists anywhere. I understand that I can get software that lets me transmit serial over ethernet to another machine which will then send it out the serial port. That isn't exactly what I want. Any ideas?
