Why not get a AnywhereUSB device and hook up a USB modem to it. Then attach the USB modem to your VM (via AnywhereUSB drivers etc)

Any other suggestions to get modems into a terminal server using vmware esx in a windos 2003 server? I have a blade system so no COM or USB ports.

The link i sent is not what i want. Sorry, i was getting tiried of seaching and in the description it was taking about modems.

I want device you can dial up to on a Terminal Server. This is to dial into certain systems, not for internet access. Our terminal server is virtualized so have no physical com or usb ports.

For serious business apps I would use the Digi..Digi has strong long-time

rep in serial device hardware The Startech looks ok for lighter apps or lab trials.

Just wondering if anyone knows of a device that allows you to dial-up on a virtual machine. I have a blade server so no USB or Serial connections. What i want is something like the link below, but instead of serial ports for modems on the device i want the modems in the device. Would like a device with like 8 rj11 ports.

Any help would be great. Have looked over the web but found nothing like what i want.

Thanks
