6. Servers for Serial Ports
A computer that has many serial ports (with many serial cables connected to it) is often called a server. Of

each of which runs to a different (non-serial) server. The serial server (perhaps called a "console server")
controls, via a console, all the other servers. The console may be physically located remote from the serial
