Hi all,
I need some help, I have a poweredge VRTX enclosure with n.2 poweredge M520 Blade. VMware ESXI 5.1 is installed on both M520. I have to virtualize two servers with a RS232 modem attached for gsm communication.
I found this device from startech:

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=a4204425
but startech's technical support claim that the device is not compatible with VMware ESXI
PowerEdge VRTX technical manual is not of any help because listed supported PCIe cards are only video card and network device.
Anyone know any device that is compatible with VMware ESXI and works on the poweredge VRTX? Even USB controller card adapter are good if i can connect a USB-RS232 converter.
Any help and hint are very appreciated. Thanks and have a nice day!
Matteo.
