AirCable is also good if you have Bluetooth available. I use that for
Bluetooth and AirConsole with a tablet.

I want to reiterate on AirConsole because it IS amazing. I don't even
grab a laptop when I go onsite anymore, just an AirConsole, its
usb-serial cable and a tablet.
Laptop can be a requirement if you need more than a serial, but using
serial-over-wifi and a tablet is an incredible quality of life
Another vote for AirConsole. I have the updated version that uses
bluetooth so that I can use the WiFi at the same time. Works great.
Our shop uses USB to Serial adapters, but we had to get ones with static
protection. We move between multiple boxes (older PBX systems) and
every so often
Executive Summary: Anyone have an updated linux driver for an
Equinox/Avocent SST-128?
I've used an Equinox SST-128 for serial ports for years.
It's a PCI card with a cable to panels with up to 128 serial ports
(RJ-45.)
It's been very handy, never given me trouble, just plugging in a piece

Get a cheap usb--serial converter. Check amazon for trend usb rs-232 db9
serial converter, tu-s9. Then you can just use whatever laptop.

You might be able to pick up something like an old Dell Latitute D800
series pretty cheaply. Built-in RS232

You can look at older Dell Latitudes such as D620 or any Prolific based

If USB is banned, ask about expansion cards. The HP 650 G1 has a serial port,
but it's not cheap.

I've seen some cheap RS-232 converters fail with some devices. I was
last bitten by one that just refused to work
I had a cheap one. Worked great but never worked on Windows 7
This is the one I recommend.

I'd be careful with FTDI chipsets, you want to make sure you get the
real chip. If they decide to move forward with bricking counterfeit
chips, you'll be wasting your $$.

I have a box of the db9 to USB converters from monoprice, cheap as dirt and
