No. TYAN mainboards with Aspeed IPMI/KVM onboard. I like the option to be able to 'mount' an iso or usb stick from my laptop and make the server think I put a cd/dvd in a non existent drive in the server. Even though I am nowhere near. I still have some older Java plugins. If need be, I will create a VM with an old plugin that I can use to access the servers. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
