I have a old Fortigate 50A firewall and a ethernet to serial cable.
The firewall has a serial port (console) and my computer doesn't, how can I configure the firewall using the ethernet to serial cable? I tried some stuff with ser2net but I don't know if this is a correct way to do that.

what do you mean by ethernet to serial cable? If this is just a passive RJ45 to DB9 rewiring (as seems to be provided with the machine), you still need a serial port on your computer. If however you have an ethernet-to-serial convertor, you'll need to say which.

And in case it's not an active ethernet-to-serial converter (I've never heard of any such device, but who knows), USB-to-serial dongles are pretty cheap. Then useminicom /dev/ttyUSB0etc. Orscreen, or whatever you like. Once you figure out the textual interface, you can even useecho, orexpect.
