I am not aware of a generic one. We currently use IBM's. Just google for "IBM remote supervisor II". The IBM can even be accessed via a web browser (with password security obviously). I'm not > up-to-date on the Compaq's. the Compaq (new HP) one is called remote insight light out edition II a quick google should find the relevent URL I'd be supprised if it works in non Compaq/HP servers though. (meant to try it but we dont have any at my current workplace :( ) some more modern Compaq/HP servers have them intergrated. one nice feature I like is the Virtual floppy drive. if you realy needed to you could (in theory, never tried it) install any OS that supports floppy based installs without having to go near the machine if the light out board had the right network settings. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
