newegg has the 2 port siig for $13 after rebate, looks like I'll get that for now.Dean Roddey said:The hardware for such devices is pretty much commodity stuff these days, but the quality of the drivers is always a potential concern. We use SIIG cards, which seem to be a good compromise of price and quality.
what do you use to bridge the RJ-45 serial ports on this device to a DB-9?gregoryx said:I'm using a Comtrol RocketPort Hub device. $50 on eBay. Ethernet attached. Drivers run in NT/2K/XP/etc and show up as serial ports. I'm even able to "attach" some of the ports to one computer and others to another. Very nice - especially for the money.
I have an 8 port version of this too from ebay for $35 and it was still sealed new in the box but i haven't set it up yet does it work pretty well? This is an industrial quality unit, right? There is some serious hardware inside including a comtrol asic. I wonder how easy it would be to write a driver for it for linux.gregoryx said:I'm using a Comtrol RocketPort Hub device. $50 on eBay.
