Conserver provides remote access to serial port consoles and logs all data to a central host. Local and network serial connections are supported. Server console history can be replayed from the console app even if the server is down, and multiple users can connect to a single serial connection.

conexus is a generalized C++ I/O library that
includes network support for IPv4 and IPv6 sockets,
serial/TTY communications, kernel message queues,
pipes, and files. Objects use sigc++ for
signaling property changes and other information.
Sub-libraries include conexus-gtkmm (provides a set of gtkmm widgets), conexus-dbus (provides dbus support for endpoints), conexus-nspr (provides NSPR endpoints), conexus-nss (provides NSS endpoints), and conexus-ssl (provides OpenSSL endpoints).

ConMan is a serial console management program designed to support a large number of console devices and simultaneous users. It supports local serial devices, remote terminal servers (via the telnet protocol), IPMI Serial-Over-LAN (via FreeIPMI), Unix domain sockets, and external processes (e.g., using Expect to control connections over telnet, ssh, or IPMI Serial-Over-LAN). Its features include logging (and optionally timestamping) console device output to file, connecting to consoles in monitor (R/O) or interactive (R/W) mode, allowing clients to share or steal console write privileges, and broadcasting client output to multiple consoles.

TOEJAM is a telephone answering machine. It uses a
voice modem as the base of an IVR system, and
sends its results via email. Only the US Robotics
56K Pro Msg is currently supported, though the USR
Sportster may work.

Conc is a serial console concentrator for Linux
and GNOME.

ThePacketMaster Linux Security Server is a
CD-based security auditing tool that boots and
runs penetration testing and forensic analysis
tools. It is handy for security auditors. Some
tools included are nessus, ethereal, The Coroner's
Toolkit, chntpw, and minicom. It includes modules
for any Linux 2.4.20 SCSI driver.

ssterm is a console-based simple serial port terminal. It features painless serial port configuration, has no dependencies outside of a standard Python 2 installation, is contained in a single file, and provides a variety of useful input/output features, including plain ASCII representation, split hexadecimal/ASCII representation, pure hexadecimal representation, color coding bytes and characters, raw input/output with control character forwarding, and remapping of transmitted and received newlines.

Serial Over IP is a tool for the transport of serial
interfaces over UDP/IP. It is usefull for connecting
distant equipment that run via a serial interfaces to
a local computer. It requires two computers that
are running Linux and are connected via IP.

The Linux Serial Sniffer allows you to sniff serial data up to 460Kbs via a Comtrol RocketPort or to 115Kbs using the standard ttyS0 and ttyS1 ports. Sniffed output can be captured to disk or displayed directly on screen. A user filter is included to assist specific customisation. The Linux Serial Sniffer can selectively operate in either a "ghost mode" where there is no data flow time impediments, or via a "capture and forward mode", where the user can flexibily intercept and extend the data stream to suit from either direction.
