Yup, if these things turn out to be easy to use they could make a great comercial product. I've contemplated buying an old livingston portmaster to do the exact same thing for other projects I've had. I've never really had a need for the dozen serial ports though.

If only all product manufacturers would switch to ethernet for the "standard" interface life would be so much easier. Scanners, digital cameras, printers, toilets... It can't really be that much more expensive can it?
