Re: ethernet 2 serial bridges ?
By: Benny Pedersen to All on Thu Jul 28 2011 09:06 pm

anyone know if its possible ?, have a very small linux bridge box under 5w running linux and have std ethernet input, and std serial output so all computers with serial ports can use internet as it was a old 300 baud modem ?
if its already done, i like to have one :=)

i dont need usb isdn adapters !

I think I get what you're trying to do. First off, to answer your question, I personally don't know much about any bridges with serial ports, but I'm sure something is out there. Otherwise, if you don't mind using more watts to power a computer to use as a bridge, you could go that route.
