Thank you for pointing me to that thread on the beowulf list. I'm pretty shure that my server board (Intel� Server Board SE7500WV2) can handle serial over lan "in principle", but, as Donald Becker said on the mailing list: <quote> The implementation is challenging and varies by system. We implement it for customers, but right now it would be a huge amount of work to support it for aribitrary kernels and configurations. </quote> Cheers, Thomas
