What's a good choice for a serial to TCP/IP converter that works with OS/8? I've seen some low-cost (~$50) ones that support a variety of modes but no mention of XON-XOF (^S-^Q) flow control.
I have my 8/E in a detached shop about 150 ft. away from my house. Shop has Cat6 Ethernet to the house. I'd like to be able to Telnet (or use a similar network terminal program) to the 8/E console (KL8-JA) via the LAN/Ethernet.
Some RS-232 to Ethernet converters can be configured for 'server' or 'client' mode. I presume the converter would need to be set for 'server' mode to allow this to work.
WinPC <-LAN-> [converter] <-RS-232-> 8/E KL8-JA OS/8 What converter has worked for you?
