If you run conserver ( ports/comms/conserver-com ) on all the machines, you can even set it up so you don't have to remember which machine is controlling which machine's console (it will chain to the correct machine). A multiport serial card in one master console box does let you consolidate the logs on one machine though. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
