What we did (and it fits our needs)
SeaLevel (SeaLink Familly) with a Zotak.
We got both Win/Linux/BSD debugging/monitoring station (with 2
1Gbps, 1 MGMT 1 Mirror) and up to 16 serials ports in 1U.
( With some DYI )
I'm sure you can get a better density if you check with them.

I'd like your input on suggestions for an alternate serial port manager.
Long ago I used Cisco 2511/2611 and was fairly happy. A little later
I used portmaster and was less so. Recently I've been using Opengear
and they work fairly well but the price is fairly high. I use the
CM7100 and IM7100.
General specs I'm looking for are:
* 8 to 48 or more rs232 serial ports on rj45
* nice-to-have software selectable pinouts (cisco v. straight)
* gig-e ethernet port (100mbps ok)
* 1U form factor
* redundant AC power
* access physical serial connections via local port #
* access physical serial connections via local IP alias (nice to have)
Can you recommend a serial port server/concentrator that I could use
in place of opengear for a better value and/or lower cost?
I'm just ignorant about the current market for serial port
concentrators and so far web searches have not revealed ideas, so your
input is appreciated!
Thanks!
