Cheap terminal server

[legodude]

I have a Cyclades terminal server that I find incredibly useful for working on my stack of vintage computers. I only really use a single port and space is getting tight in my "vintage computer rack."

I've seen a couple cheap single port terminal servers for $10-30:

Has anyone used one of these?

Seems roughly similar to the old Lantronix UDS-10 and similar devices.

Oooh, I forgot about those! After looking at Ebay, I have one en route for <$20 - I didn't think they would be that cheap. A much better option than taking a chance on a random dongle with dodgy documentation.

thanks a bunch
