NIC as RS232

2008-01-07 Thread Thanasis
Is there a kernel driver that would make a NIC's port work as a RS232 port, using the serial cables that are RJ45 on one side and DB9 or DB25 on the other? Maybe null modem cables of that type ? Or for example those used by cisco as console port cables? (or may be I'm dreaming ;-) inline:
