Perhaps slightly off topic (forgive me), but I am guessing that some of you have NetBSD systems connected to IP-based (i.e., remote) KVM systems so that they can be monitored and controlled from afar. I am wondering what solutions that you have found useful in that application.
Not sure what you mean by KVM. Are you referring to the old-school VGA and PS/2 switches and by extension, some Baseboard Management Controllers (BMC) which offer similar functionality out-of-the-box? If that's what you mean then yes, netbsd ships with the cu utility which is quite a nice serial console client. To me, all that matters for a decent server is that it offers serial output at all level. If the BIOS or EFI doesn't, having a boot-loader + kernel output + tty on serial does the trick anyhow. -elge
