ah, so there is. No ports to netbsd/freebsd either (and despite the
addition of a GPL COPYING file to the tarball, all the source code is
copyright Cyclades all rights reserved, so I don't think there will
be an OpenBSD port either looking like that).

not from me, sorry.

i've installed sredird and it seems to be only telnet to local openbsd
serial port.
what i want is local openbsd serial to remote/telnet serial port ... :(

seems configure has never been used on any bsd ...
took linux compiler flags but it seems there is system dependant file.
linux one fails on termio.h

seems based on the same old and bsd-unfriendly configure and base code ...

so it doesn't solve my problem here.

no more advices to handle multiple serial device through terminal server
while using basic tools like nut, cu, ... ?

There is also 'cyclades-serial-client' to try if you have problems
with the opengear one; these use the rfc2217 modem control protocol
supported by most terminal servers which lets you change port speed,
access control lines, etc. without reconfiguring the term server.

Yes, that's correct. It connects to terminal server ports, logs the
output from the devices and can multiplex access to them (many users
read-only, one user read-write).

there is also conserver in ports, but it seems more about managing than
redirection.

ports/comms/sredird to run a terminal server on OpenBSD,

ftp://ftp.opengear.com/opengear-serial-client-2.0.9p0.tar.gz
might work to let you connect to another terminal server as
if it were a local port, I don't know whether it works on
OpenBSD or not though.



[OT] openbsd + terminal server usage

2007-02-25 Thread Julien TOUCHE
is there an easy way to handle terminal server usage on openbsd, like
equinox/advocent ones ?
for example to connect an application like nut to /dev/tty01 or
/dev/cua01, how do you handle it to telnet or tap terminal server port  ?
