Re: [AFMUG] Ip, console server?

Yep it does it all.  I don't have it plugged into a cellular network.  But I 
think even some of them support you dialing into them with a modem.It has 
failover to cellular and you can use dyndns if I recall.  

There is a demo of the software on their site you can check out.  
http://opengear.com/take-a-test-drive/

If I recall it spins up an instance you can log into once you sign up.

Do you use these on a cellular network?  If so, which?  Do they give you a
public IP so you can connect directly to the OpenGear box?

have random driver problems in Windows or stop showing up on a Mac.

Re: [AFMUG] Ip, console server?

[Ken Hohhof]

Those look very nice.  Hard to believe we are still using serial ports though.  
Even Cisco gear for some time now has had USB console ports.

Once they stopped putting serial ports on laptops, I always dreaded dragging 
out the USB-serial dongle and trying to make it work.  Now I have a laptop that 
doesn't even have an Ethernet port, luckily the Best Buy house brand USB3-GigE 
dongle I picked up has worked flawlessly.  USB-serial not so much.
