Yeah that's basically it. You can often assign aliases so that e.g. `CONNECT 
RAID` executes a Telnet to a specific IP/DNS name, and many support setting up 
a default or automatic connection so that as soon as the terminal autobauds it 
just connects to whatever the default is.

All of this will require device-specific commands, but they're all similar and 
at this point basically support the same feature sets.

Devices like the Lantronix UDS series also allow you to add a virtual COM port 
to your OS, so that you see /dev/ttyXX in *NIX (COMx in Windows) and when you 
connect to it, you're really going out over Ethernet to the serial device.

Thanks,
