using conserver to link vmware virtual machines to Raritan console servers

Hello-

I have beent rying to get conserver
to work as a go-between for a vmware serial port (named pipe) link and
a Raritan console server. Unlike other console servers raritan only supports
ssh connections and which are difficult to remotely attach. I have managed
to get conserver to connect to a port on the Raritan and now am trying
to get the vmware named pipe to connect to the conserver named pipes.

The vmware serial port (linux GSX) creates
a single named pipe, but the conserver creates two named pipes, I presume
one for input the other for output. Here is my conserver.cf file:

lvsrv05:/vmware/images/other # more /etc/conserver.cf
default full {
        rw *;
}
default * {
        logfile /var/log/conserver/&;
        timestamp "";
        include full;
}
console node1 {
        master localhost;
        type exec;
        exec /usr/bin/ssh
-l dominion -t 129.190.9.1 "sconsole -u admin -a xxxxxxx -p 1";
}
access * {
        allowed 127.0.0.1;
}

When using 'console node1' the console
properly connects to the Raritan and gives me direct access to the port.
Rather than using the console, I would like to link the vmware serial port
to the conserver named pipes. Within the virtual machine I will be running
a legacy app on windows NT which will connect to some equipment linked
to the Raritan. The legacy app will then monitor the remote hardware. 

Alternatively, if anyone has heard of
a way to redirect an NT com port to ssh, I would be glad to hear from you.

Thanks
