You can still get laptops with real serial ports (HP sell them). You |
| 4 |
might want to investigate whether you can manipulate the USB serial |
| 5 |
adapter to your requirements. I tried once with setserial and it didn't |
| 6 |
work - I havent had time to look into it further (potentially driver |
| 7 |
dependent??). Minicom works fine for configuring routers/unix boxes |
| 8 |
however. |
