I'm looking for some softwares that can do the following:

Connect to the equipment with a console port. than forward the connection as a telnet server.

This way a local equipment can ba accessed via console port remotly.

I'm not sure that this kind of software in availible, but I think that's the way Cisco Remote Labs works.

Any suggestion??

Maybe a 'console server' is what you're looking for. I don't have any experience with this kind of servers or software, but i know there's loads of information on Google if you type in 'console server'.

Hi - this is what i use: http://www.avocent.com/web/en.nsf/Content/CycladesACS_Landing

I bought it as 'Cyclades' it looks like Avocent have bought them.

Anyway, it'll do the job for you.

That's interessting, but what I'm needing is just a server for a small LAB

You could take an old pc and put some PCI cards with serial interfaces in it (like this one: http://www.coolgear.com/images/165273.jpg).

You can control the pc via a Remote Desktop connection, voilá; a simple console server!

Haha that's the easiest, but not interesting for me, I like to use this software in client sites where I can access in any case of problem, with a remote desktop if I connect with a ISDN 56kbps connection that will not be the best way to do.
