My FreeBSD box is colocated in a NOC that I don't usually have access to. If it crashes or loses network connectivity, I'd like to be able to get on console remotely. A friend has another FreeBSD box at the same place, and we both have accounts on each other's machines. I thought maybe I could hook up a serial cable from his serial port to console on my machine (and vice versa), and then if I need to get on console on my machine, I can just log into his machine and use tip cuaa0c or whatever to get on mine (and he can do the same thing on mine when he's down). My questions are these: 1) Does this sound like it will work? 2) How can I send a CTRL-ALT-DELETE (if my machine is really locked up) if I'm using SecureCRT on a Windows box to log on to my friends machine and hooked into my machine with tip? Is there an equivalent key combination that I can map to one of the F keys? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
