Serial Port Remote Access

Problem: Chars do not display on serial session when using v5.13 x86 ROS.

The test setup is a Putty serial session connected to the serial port on an x86 SBC and another Putty RAW telnet session to port 999 of the ROS host. The connection to the TCP port is accepted. The typed chars echo on the TCP session but do not appear on the serial session. Chars typed on the serial session display on the TCP session, but do not echo on the serial session. In short the serial session does not display chars but accepts input to the TCP session.

I have tried this setup on a Soekris 5501 and a VIA Celeron MB and have the same problem. When tried on an RB450 it worked properly.

Any ideas on what needs to be changed? I really need this function on x86 ROS for a remote telemetry project.

It might be useful to know which device driver / device was being used as the serial port.

I have seen a USB<>Serial device recently which works on ROS X86 but not on the same ROS on MIPSBE - have not had the chance to submit that one to Mikrotik support yet.
