Hello there,
I'd like to ask you about the following - is it possible to have multiple
serial consoles coming from a single host?
What I am talking about is connecting multiple machines using a null modem
cable - I know it is possible only to connect two machines and they need to
be connected on sio0 (COM1).
I'm thinking about the following situation - 1 system acting like a host
with a serial port hub, each port of the hub is connected to a different
machine on sio0, using null modem cables.
This would make the first machine something like a cheaper kind of a
terminal concentrator :)
What do you think, have someone tried this and is it possible at all?
Thanks and regards,
DNAeon
