I have some devices that are only accessible via RS-232 cables. The problem is that I have no RS-232 to USB adapters so I can't access them. What I do have is a bunch of serial cables, most interestingly Cisco RJ45 (8P8C) to RJ45, that happen to fit in ethernet ports. I've found that points out that you can use socat (installable via Homebrew) to open a PTY to work with serial over Ethernet, but it doesn't go into any detail on how that would work. It also points to Multicom, but again, without any useful setup instructions. Is using a serial cable even the correct one for Serial via Ethernet? Full disclosure- I wrote it. The main advantage over other apps is it can work with most USB to serial devices without having to install any drivers, as it has its own drivers built-in. It also does full terminal emulation so you can use it to work with Linux or other devices that require it. You can try it for free, too. ZOC is a professional telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) client and terminal emulator that consolidates connectivity to all your text based servers and remote gear under one roof.
