(the HW is low power, stable, and in a 1U form factor which makes them perfect for this task) I tried attaching some USB<->RS232 adapters into a USB PCI controller, FreeBSD saw the devices, and created the ucom links. But when you connect to the devices, there is no activity (back and forth). Tried using a RocketPort card, same thing, the various /dev/ttyR* devices were created, with the same effect. Has anyone used a T1 as a serial console server, and encountered these problems?
