Hello,<br />
&nbsp;I have that new VMware ESX 5.0 virtual environment and I have created and P2V most of my physical servers. I have a few servers which are using serial connection to other servers.<br />
<br />
So I have two questions:<br />
<br />
1. How to virtualy connect serial to serial between two VMs and how to test the connection<br />
<br />
2. One of my servers has serial connestion to a Perl box which translates in to IP. My PBX connects there and communicats with the server. How to configure my VM to have a serial but to be converted to IP and then I can point my PBX to that IP address.<br />
<br />
<br />
Let me know if you need more information.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />

VMware serial port converter to IP

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
