Fixing a Serial to Lan adapter...
Oh, fun! I'm afraid to ask what it's for, lol.
I'm not. @dbeato, what in the world are you supporting that requires a serial to lan adapter?
Old access control system...

Obviously something cisco. . .
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.

@travisdh1 Hey, what could possible go wrong with 25 pins, only some of which you'll ever use on any given device. . .

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

What is stopping you, you have the root creds right?

Bureaucracy and its change management.

Are you trying to do something like this?

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.
- Write two entries to the host file. This is easy enough: Echo text and redirect to the hosts file.
- Do the stuff needed for AMP (which can't be done with PowerShell due to an AMP limitation)
- 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.

Still need it, PS doesn't address the things that we almost all need to do, a lot of the time. Objects sound cool, and sometimes are, but in the real world, often don't cut it when you just need to process text. PS makes "what you see" very different from "what you get." Something we've always had in all other platforms. It's a huge functionality loss that you have to know all kinds of secret things going on in the background that aren't visible, and what is visible is often "fake".
