>From what I remember the os/2 smb protocol implementation could share COM ports as easily as LPT ports for printers. I can't remind though if this was for 'printer-only' purposes e. g. output-only, supplied with a mandatory queueing facilities, etc., or not. Who knows if modern smb protocol implementations could do this, too. Depending on a task I think the most interactive user-friendly solution here is a minicom(s) each in its own ssh'ed jail(s). -- Peter Vereshagin <pe...@vereshagin.org> (http://vereshagin.org) pgp: A0E26627 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
