is there an easy way to handle terminal server usage on openbsd, like

equinox/advocent ones ?

for example to connect an application like nut to /dev/tty01 or

/dev/cua01, how do you handle it to telnet or tap terminal server port <n> ?


thanks

Regards

note: i've checked on some user guide, but not really clear until some

tests.

ports/comms/sredird to run a terminal server on OpenBSD,


ftp://ftp.opengear.com/opengear-serial-client-2.0.9p0.tar.gz

might work to let you connect to another terminal server as

if it were a local port, I don't know whether it works on

OpenBSD or not though.

thanks a lot, exactly this.

there is also conserver in ports, but it seems more about managing than

redirection.

There is also 'cyclades-serial-client' to try if you have problems

with the opengear one; these use the rfc2217 modem control protocol

supported by most terminal servers which lets you change port speed,


Yes, that's correct. It connects to terminal server ports, logs the

output from the devices and can multiplex access to them (many users

read-only, one user read-write).

i've installed sredird and it seems to be only telnet to local openbsd

serial port.


seems configure has never been used on any bsd ...

took linux compiler flags but it seems there is system dependant file.


so it doesn't solve my problem here.


no more advices to handle multiple serial device through terminal server

while using basic tools like nut, cu, ... ?


thanks

ah, so there is. No ports to netbsd/freebsd either (and despite the

addition of a GPL COPYING file to the tarball, all the source code is

copyright Cyclades all rights reserved, so I don't think there will


not from me, sorry.
