Run conserver with a multi-port serial board under UNIX not Windows and
you'll be fine.

But...I'm not a programmer and it works like crap...when I connect to a port, it pegs one of the cpus since I can't work out some of the loops.

My ultimate goal is to be able to connect over SSH (preferably) or telnet, login, pick a port to 'connect to', and be able to control that device. (I tried conserver under Cygwin...and it LOOKED like I could do this...but I wasn't sure since I can't figure out how to access the serial ports under Cygwin...
