Re: Splitting serial cables ?

My guess is that you'll have the potential for noise on those cables that could cause unintended consequences. I personally would find a cheap DECserver and use that instead.

Is it possible to split a serial cable coming from an OPA0: to go to 2

Goal: have a node's OPA0: go to serial ports on 2 different machines so
that no matter which node is up, I can always SET HOST/DTE from the
running node to access the OPA0:



And while I am at it, how about a 3 way ? Have OPA0: go to 2 serials
ports as well as a true blue VT220 (actually, they are now yellowish :-)
