I did the Google after thinking about the search a bit ("share serial
ports" did the trick).  There are a few programs which seem to do this
but quite pricy for a utility ($100+) which felt a bit expensive!

Afraid not!

I'm after one (well each) MSS100 feeding input to one PC (HA server)
and Lantronix Redirector running on that PC and then for that feed to
be split to several serial ports on the HA Server itself.

I'll have a play with Redirector and the MSS100s and see if I can
figure anything out.


Thanks
