Hi Martin, What you propose cannot be done. Unlike the serial port USB is a host/client system, where one device needs to play the host. And typically, neither the MIB520 nor any standard USB-serial converter can do that. If I remember correctly, there are (were) serial-USB converters that would do what you wanted to do, but they would very likely require USB support in the kernel.
Why don't you use an MIB510 instead? Why can't you upgrade the Linux kernel?
