I have multiple serial consoles (from AlphaServers) and a serial data stream from a device which runs our door entry system. I use an Avocent/Cyclades CS4016 serial port concentrator and either conserver (on a CentOS 4 server) or conman (on a CentOS 5 server) to take all the serial streams and log them in separate files, one per serial port. It works very well. I notice that both conserver and conman are available in the fedora repository, so you can use either one. -- Dale Dellutri
