The point is that it should *not* be necessary to add hardware to support a remote console. Almost every PC motherboard already has all of the necessary hardware onboard. It is just the stupid BIOS that is missing the functionality. If I could replace the BIOS with Linux, my problem would be solved. The way I figure it is that if a motherboard manufacturer is intelligent enough to include remote console functionality in their BIOS (or if the LinuxBIOS project already works on a board) the board is probably well-supported by Linux. > Peppercon has some models. I will look them up, but what I am really looking for is a server motherboard that: 1. has a remote console 2. is well-supported by vanilla Linux 3. is available -- Erik Rossen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (41 22) 362 45 08 http://www.linux-gull.ch OpenPGP key: 2935D0B9 _______________________________________________ gull mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.alphanet.ch/mailman/listinfo/gull
