If you have space and no money, you can get a random Linux box to act as a serial console. The benefit is that you can connect to it over SSH, and even set up a modem through which you can dial up. Also included are host-based firewalling with iptables, which can be useful. If you have money and no space, you can get a Cyclades terminal server box. They're pretty spendy, but they run Linux and take up as much space as your average ethernet mini-hub. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ GWB doesn't speak for me / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
