Dial-up Modem over Ethernet on ESX 3.5 posted: Apr 14, 2009 6:22 PM

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

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.

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)
