Sorry, but our 3745 doesn't handle that kind of communications and the network security folks have already outsourced the modem type of communications for everyone to our firewall provider because dialing into the firewall is the ONLY approved use of modem technology. "Everyone really is already on the internet so we are to move away from those ancient technologies."
I was more interested in stuff like "LOGGER" to put messages into the system log (especially if the log is over on that central administration server) and automation tools on that central server to act upon incoming messages is adminstrator specified ways. /Thomas Kern /(301)903-2211 -----Original Message----- From: John Summerfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 15:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Multiple System Automation Tools? (was RE: behaviour of tar) This is the cheapskate's suggestion;-) If you can fake a UPS attached to a serial port, nuts will shut things down on multiple machines if there's a power failure;-) There is also a modem server so your S/390 can have a standard modem attahed to a standard serial port - I don't recall the specifics but I guess a pty will do. I doubt whether the modem server's included in any standard distro; I think it hangs out at your local Sunsite mirror.
