Ron,

I am looking for something to act as KVM ( Keyboard Video and Mouse, not
the Kervel Virtual Machine), see the person they hire to do linux dev,
doesn't know linux. Keeps killing the box, so if I had Drac on these I
would be happy, I have BMC, I really should look to see they can do remote
access like the Drac. All the stuff would be great while the box is
running. If I had remove access like KVM  I could kick start the boxes,
which is happen from my office. Instead driving an hour to Roswell.

Ed, these are old 2950, still go for dev boxes.

That why I was thinking I could or might set up remote access via the
serial port, Sun boxes have me spoil.  I still kill Hyper Terminal and
Minicomm for such access.

<rant>

I am amazed that this guy got hire, suppose to have a phd in computer
science, when he asked for a laptop with Linux, I thought cool, another
Linux Users. He couldn't get chat working. He suppose to get drbd running,
which I can do in a week. He doesn't know basic routing. Every time I go
talk to about the mistake he did to kill the box, he is googling for help.
 I have told my boss, I will not apply what he comes up with until I can
test it out as from what I see, I know it won't work. But, since I work in
a house of developer, they only see me as special grease monkey, not a
Linux Engineer.

</rant>
