Thank you for indicating the use of 'ser2net'. I appreciate your suggestion and the information you provided. However, in our specific infrastructure, the terminal emulator plays a central role due to the way our users access the application and reauthenticate for printing purposes. This interaction is seamless for our users and the terminal emulator serves as a crucial component in managing the communication between the server and the various devices, including the printer and others.

While 'ser2net' may be a valuable tool for certain purposes, it doesn't align with our specific requirements. Nevertheless, I'm grateful for the insight and knowledge you've shared.

Best Regards,
Thierry
