The DS203 is a serial device server that can be used to quickly network-enable virtually any serial device or system.

The DS203 is compatible with Tibbo Device Server Toolkit (TDST) for Windows. TDST includes the Virtual Serial Port Driver (VSPD), which enables you to use the serial port of the DS203 as a remote COM port of your PC. The Linux version of the VSPD is available as well.
