          I'm not. @dbeato, what in the world are you supporting that requires a serial to lan adapter?

              Or maybe something else... I can think of one or two things that this type of setup could be useful for.

                  Timeclocks.... they're all cursed anyway, why not continue to use a serial interface.

                      25 pin, naw, the ones I used to support were 9 pin. So fancy and new 😛

                        If sed existed in Windows, that would make my current task much easier.

                                  Doesn't really need it. You have PowerShell to work with objects rather than sorting through garbled text output.

                                  What are you trying to do?

                                      Thinking about how not having to use Putty any more, and being able to SSH into my *NIX boxes right from Powershell is so nice.

                                        Problem is a piece of this can't work with Powershell (deals with Cisco AMP's sfc.exe). Where I'd want something like sed is for this.

                                        1. Write two entries to the host file. This is easy enough: Echo text and redirect to the hosts file.
                                        2. Do the stuff needed for AMP (which can't be done with PowerShell due to an AMP limitation)
                                        3. Once stuff is done, find the two entries made from step 1 and comment them out.

                                          That's not PowerShell enabling that. That's just that SSH is installed now. Works with anything on Windows, cmd, PS, Bash.... anything.

                                            This is a big deal. All other systems work transparently with one another, local and remote. The object system in PowerShell breaks that in really problematic ways.
