Hi all,

Is there a method in centos
where a program can be started that listens on a given IP port
and when something connects it will transfer data from the RS232 port
to the IP port. reads and writes of course.

Trying not to reinvent the wheel if I dont have to...

Thanks,

Jerry

Something like this approach should work:

You could probably do something more complicated with kermit instead of
cu. If you need some kind of initialization as the connection starts,
kermit could do it with a script.
