It's always cool to have console access to routers/switches and nowadays they are going from RS-232 to RJ-45 as a standart. I have got Avocent DSR 2035 which is a KVM+Serial console (all in one).. but while I was able to have it work against servers via KVM or/and Serial , I was unable to make it work properly against any network device. I am wondering if anyone had experience on DSR or similar boxes to configure them against network devices console ports.
I stumbled across these, which look like decent alternatives to getting a 2511 from eBay: http://www.perle.com/products/Terminal-Server.shtml The 48-port 1U terminal server with redundant power looks particularily nice. I've no experience with Perle, though. Anyone else? Bjørn
