Thank you a lot for your feedback!
Now to the real question again, because I'm a little confused now - can I
still get a usb-to-serial port converter having let's say 8 serial ports
and
then connect each machine to the usb-to-serial hub and manage them
remotely
from a single location (the host having the usb-to-serial hub)? That way
I
just specify a serial port number and I get to a specific machine?
The model provided by Boris looks nice, and that was my initial idea, but
I'm not sure if I could get it working under FreeBSD. Is conserver or
conserver-com able to handle this? I know that cu uses COM1 only, but
will
conserver able to handle serial consoles on different ports, since the
usb-to-serial port would appear as multiple serial ports.
You can provide cu with the port to connect to on the command line.
cu -l cuaU0 -s 115200
cu -l cuaU1 -s 115200
etc.
You can not connect several servers on 1 serial port, but you can connect
several servers on several serial ports. With serial-over-usb it scales to
many serial ports.
Ronald.
Thank you and regards,
Marin

Along with milti-io serial cards we use multi-usb serial
converters, such as SUNIX UTS7009P (7 USB to serial adapter):
