I'd like to use my laptop as a serial console for various machines.
The laptop has only USB connectivity.
AFAICS the machines I'd like to connect have the following serial interfaces:
- DEC Alpha (2 DB9 male interfaces).
- i386 PC (2 DB9 male interfaces).
- SPARC (2 DB25 female interfaces).
- SGI Indy (2 DIN8 female interfaces).

I read the following mails:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-help/2004/12/30/0011.html
but I wonder if I'll be able to use keyspan or iogear adapters
with SPARC and Indy.

Do you have any suggestion?

Regards,
Thierry.
