Is there an way to transport a serial port via TCP/IP to a PC.

The goal is to have a ESP8266 dongle that I connect to a router, switch or other device with a serial port for configuring.

I have found RFC 2217 that is suitable for the goal. Is there a arduino implementation ? Or any other way to get to the goal?

    You mean besides the example that comes with the ESP8266 boards package that does just what you want? – Majenko Jul 16 '17 at 14:14
  • Now I have to take a look at the examples. A FB friend pointed me to https://github.com/jeelabs/esp-link/ that looks like it will do the work as well. Thx – MatsK Jul 16 '17 at 20:03
  • There's one called (I think) WiFiSerial. I took that and built on it to add RFC2217 support a while back. Never got round to testing it since I don't have an RFC2217 client, but I have used it for programming boards remotely. – Majenko Jul 16 '17 at 20:05
  • Majenko, could you share the code? – MatsK Jul 17 '17 at 14:17
  • If I can find it, sure. – Majenko Jul 17 '17 at 14:31

    Here you go - make of it what you will. If you fancy pushing any changes and fixes back as a PR in Github that'd be great. https://github.com/MajenkoProjects/WiFiSerialDTR – Majenko Jul 17 '17 at 17:53
