My Astrix server that I'm using in my house has only got USB connectors. I want to add a GSM modem to it, but this modem has only got a RS232 (serial port) connector. Anyone here who knows of an USB to serial cable converter that will work with Cent OS? Thank you.
There is a lot of them in market. Just byu one and plug into usb. The module pl2303 should be loaded by kernel and /dev/ttyUSBx should apper. Thats all. If not, put it away and buy another one. I've bought some time ago one and it does not work with linux kernel, then I bought another one, which works perfectly. Best regards, Adam
Usually there is no name/number ;-( Find something with word "Linux" on the package, or go with laptopo to the shop and ask for permission to try before buy. Thats all I can advise. Adam
