Rather than respond to this flame-bait, I'll ask a relatively on-topic
question. Does anyone know a vendor of reasonably low-cost (<US$2000),
rack-mountable computers that use a serial console and run some flavour of
UNIX? Preferably *BSD, as I want to run IPFILTER (old Linux's packet
filters are lame, and neither IPTABLES nor the 2.4 kernel are ready for
production at this point). There are many sources of x86 boxen, but they
all seem to have production-hostile BIOSes that require a KVM switch. And
yes, I know about the weasel board, but (a) it's a hack, and (b) it
occupies a slot, which I can't spare in a 1U chassis.
(I _really_ want a netra T1 running Solaris 8, but its price point is too
high for this application)
