A Pm 25 would work perfectly for this, or pretty much ANY of the older
analog portmasters because they have dial-out and device capability which
makes it VERY simple for you to attach the serial ports of the pm to the
serial port of a device such as a router, term server, switch, phone
system. We do this, as do MANY of my customers.
To do it you simply designate WHICH ports on your portmaster you want to
connect to what, set them for device service of telnet with a specific
port number like 6001, 6002, 6003, etc... or even 10001, 10002, etc
(secure ports). There is a step-by-step on Livingston's web site on how to
set them up. Then you simply telnet to the pm but with that 6001, 6002,
etc... port # and you are physically attached to that serial port. OR you
could just telnet to the portmaster and use the ATTACH s? command, which
is simpler and safer and does NOT require you set the port for device
service of outgoing telnet.
