Can the Digi Connect SP be used to emulate a COM port on a server? In the past, I used the Etherlite II EIA-485. I need a new device that can do the same thing. The server needs to maintain a constant connection to the legacy serial devices for monitoring. I ordered the Connect SP, but I need to know if I should cancel the order.

Thanks!

Yes, the Connect SP supports RealPort.
