hi, I was about to plunge in and 'try' to cleanup the serial console stuff, when it downed on me that newer machines are arriving without serial port! there goes that idea. So USB/serial dongle came to mind, might work, but messy, FireWire is not universaly available. So, why not serial over ethernet? IPMI 'was' to have solved this, but it will (if at all) work on server class MB only, and im still looking for a Unix Viewer. In my case, i have been using the serial console to debug stuff, but being of the old school, i try to stay away from debuggers :-), so printf and stack trace will do. So here are some of my quesions: o - is there some standard? ok, refrase, are there some standards? o - any WIP?, i'm checking out Robert Watson's ethercons o - any great ideas? danny
