Serial port in VSphere posted: Jun 11, 2009 2:50 AM

Hi,

Is it possible to connect physical serial port to VM?

I see that there is such option in editing Vm, but, I can´t select serial port output to ˝Use physical serial port on host˝ option.
I have Fujitsu RX300 S4 server.

The reason why I need serial port is for external modem, that we use for fax purposes in share point portal.

Thanks in advance
