Linux drivers are now available for Digi International's EtherLite line of network serial concentrators. Digi EtherLite serial concentrators simplify the process of adding RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 serial ports to the network by combining the control and performance of local ports with the convenience of an Ethernet connection. Traffic from all 2, 8, 16 or 32 EtherLite ports is serviced by a single TCP/IP session. EtherLite serial ports appear as local TTYs under UNIX and as native COM ports under Windows NT. These locally administered, ``hardware-style'' ports allow greater control than standard serial concentrator ports. The Linux driver for EtherLite runs on kernel version 2.2 or higher and is supported on the following, or newer, distributions: Red Hat 6.0, Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 and SuSE Linux 6.3.

Perle Systems added a Dial-out Client for Linux to its line of 833 Access Servers. The new client allows Linux-based users to share modems with other Linux, Windows 95/98, NT and 2000 workstations on their network by re-routing data traffic from Linux applications normally destined for the COM port to the server modem pool. With this software, Perle 833 Access Servers eliminate the need to attach individual modems on each Linux workstation in the office where dial-out facilities are needed. This reduces the number of PBX ports used for modem dial-out. The new Dial-out client for Linux is supported on Perle 833 v5.64 and newer; Perle 833IS v6.06, 7.0 and newer; and Perle 833AS v6.15 and newer. It is available as a free software upgrade from Perle's web site.
