Hi,
i recently bought two motherboards with Intel AMT support,
a remote management tool which among other things implements
Serial Over Lan (SOL) -- which seems to be accessible
via TCP port 16994

I have enabled the feature in the bios and built a client
(amtterm, see http://dl.bytesex.org/releases/amtterm/ )
which does connect to the port, but there is no data.

Especially, on the FreeBSD side i see no "uart" device
associated with the SOL port, only uart0 which is the
physical serial port on board.

Any idea on how to make the SOL port visible ?
I am using a stock 8.2-beta kernel for amd64,
tried to load ipmi but it makes no difference.

cheers
luigi
