Hm... looks like that may not be necessary: In Routeros 3.0rc2:
*) RFC 2217 serial server TCP to serial Now you can set the serial port to RFC 2217 server mode and you can use a remote application to communicate/control the serial device. Find out more about this protocol at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2217.html I see one program out there so far that will redirect the serial port on a windows device to point to one of these serial servers... http://dir.filewatcher.com/d/FreeBSD/4.3-release/i386/sredird-1.1.8.tgz.20063.html Anyone tried this? May make a nice UPS control application as well! Eric Rogers wrote: > Have you considered serial extenders?
