Interesting ...Also tried reading a serial with my RB951. Works without problem, but I'm missing the option to upload the firmware over serial of RB951.

Have been playing with Arduino serial ports (usng the Arduino board built in usb/TTL converter), either via a read/write software sketch, or via the TX/RX ports when the Arduino cpu is halted with a jumper cable.
(Used for program upload to a ESP32-cam board without USB interface, I had no FTDI USB/TTL board at that time.

Long ago I did this with a DEC terminal server (8 port or 16 RS423 port device, using DEC's reverse LAT protocol), that was a 100% transparent serial connection over ethernet)
LAT is gone, maybe reverse telnet servers do the same. Mikrotiks Special login, is that reverse SSH ?
Would a USB to TTL adaptor work on a Mikrotik USB port for this?
Maybe the Mikrotik WOOBM was just that wifi-to-USB/serial adaptor. (ESP8266 based?) https://mikrotik.com/product/woobm
But the need is not for a terminal interface, but for a COM port, where some (IDE) application can read from and talk to. !?
