Connect from ESX to serial port

I am trying to connect to a device connected to the serial port of my ESX server.  The question is - what command that comes natively with ESX 4.0 server will let you communicate with the serial port?  I know the device name /dev/ttyS0.  Thanks.

Typically you would connect the serial port to a Virtual Machine and not to ESX. I just looked a a client setup and that is broadly how it works (same as VMware Workstation). Except the new physical server in question has not serial port, so I cannot test.

Have you tried editing the settings of your Virtual Machine and adding it there?
