The client is a Java program called IPViewer you donwload from their website. I did have to tweak it to run under freeBSD (basically download the Linux version and replace the JRE with the FreeBSD native one). *quick rummage* I suspect it's one of these: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/rack-options/kvm/index-console.html Not that I have ever seen the thing. But it seems likely that it's one of those. None of the boxes plugged into it are HP/Compaq ones - they are a miscellany of odd servers from a variety of places, and it works fine with all of them. > The point is that a normal, run of the mill KVM doesn't have that capability. I havent worked with many colo's - I assumed they all had some kind of remote KVM ability, sorry. I see what you mean now. cheers, -pcf. PS: I have no clue how miuch those KVM's cost - they might be horrificly expensive if you dont get one as standard with your hosting. HP and 'cheap' aren't two words that I naturally associate.
