Subject: [cctalk] Re: Connecting a physical terminal via LAN to Serial Port
Ali,
Many of the "server" devices work both ways. So you can configure the ports to
be "host/server" or "terminal" ports. I think for example this
https://www.ebay.com/itm/402706717955
will let you have both types of ports. It’s a bit modern and complex but seems to fit the
bill..

I feel like a Raspberry Pi or similar would fit
the bill for this
nicely.
Yes, but it wouldn't be ready to go ;). I would need to find a raspberry pi with a
built in serial port and a flavor Linux already loaded on it plus configuration.
There are plenty of SERVER devices out there (i.e. take data from the serial
console of a device and present it over the LAN via TCP/IP and accessible by
Telnet, SSH, even HTTP) so I am hoping someone has a client device as well.
