I work on a variety of industrial devices that require a serial port and terminal program to configure and/or diagnose. Usually it is rather difficult to find a place where a laptop can be safely placed to work on such equipment.
Maybe I'm dreaming, but a Nexus 7 with a serial adapter and a terminal program would be the PERFECT device to use for field troubleshooting and device configuration. Does anyone know if these might be available anywhere?

USB to RS-232 cables/connectors are widely available. Finding the software to communicate/control the devices will be the difficult part. I did a search at the Google Play Store for "RS-232 terminal" and came up with a lot of possibilities.
