I've used one of these before. They are useful for attaching serial devices to an Ethernet network. It's a lot cheaper and easier than trying to put a PC with enough serial ports near every device you need to talk to. The ones I worked with were part of a radio modem sold by MaxStream, now part of Digi International.
- csmuk 13y agoWe used dedicated terminal servers for this function years ago. No PC required. DEC and Allied Telesis made them. Now I feel old.
