I have a side question since I don't have $869 to plunk down for a 170. Can someone explain how those ports get used? Can I plug my 170 into the back of my ultra2 when it crashes and get to the OK prompt like I'd plugged a laptop and null modem in? Also - any chance Sun is going to reduce the price of SunRay1's - $359 is kind of expensive, thank god for ebay. -- Joe Reid [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tactical Solaris Systems Engineering and Administration http://www.singlewhitemale.net ?c=a=rb=sc=fd=te=wf=zg=porh=n? _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
