dear linux-il folks, i thought i might try here before the conserver mailing list. i have a nice little setup of a soekris net4801 (http://soekris.com/products/net4801.html) that serves (with a minimal debian and mpd) as a music box. the only way to communicate with it other than networking (wlan or ethernet) is the serial console. now,occasionally, i want to access the console without hooking up the serial cable, because i'm lazy. i found conserver (http://www.conserver.com), which is supposed to do just that - allow remote access to the actual console device. the problem is it doesn't work for me for whatever reason. i'm able to connect to the server, attach to the console, but then it freezes and i can do nothing except use the escape sequence to quit. if i'm already connected at the same time to the console with the cable (of course it can't really work together, this is just for testing), i can actually see characters being sent to the console, but with no apparent response, as if it's just displayed instead of being taken as commands.
if anyone's interested i can attach logs etc. thanks a lot, ido _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
