+1 for DIGI
Avocent Sucked major **** , it was horrible to implement and had tons of driver issues and compatibility with other OS. On the other hand, the DIGI Serial + modem IP device we got worked from Day one and has been working for over 2 years, we bought the one that had an embedded modem and 3 IP to serial ports. Have had no issues running under VMware.

Not for modems specifically but for communications with other devices. Been rock solid so far. I have three USB anywhere's hooked up to VM's for License dongles etc. Looks like the Avocent would be a cheaper solution if someone can verify it works well. ________________________________ From: Eldridge, Dave [mailto:d...@parkviewmc.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 10:17 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT ESX IP - Serial hub Anyone using this?
