Newsgroup is copied, although you will still be pestering me, too :) Serial is sort of in the works. One person did a direct serial interface for the OpenIPMI library, but it's not in yet. There's no support for dialin type stuff. There seems to be quit a few boards that are using a serial port as the system interface (instead of KCS, BT, etc). Perhaps that's what you mean. IMHO, this is a *very* bad idea. It is not standard, causes a lot of confusion when trying to configure devices (What's this serial port for?), is difficult to implement (the serial drivers aren't really designed to have other drivers sitting on top of them), and cannot be auto-detected. That last one is the biggest one. Auto-detection is what makes everyone's life easy. If you have one of these, complain bitterly to your vendor and ask why they don't follow industry standards. With that said, a driver is in the works, but it has not been easy. -Corey > > Regards, Vasili > > > On 12/2/05, *Corey Minyard* <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> > wrote: > > Well, you don't really use oem_atca.c by itself.
