A modem and a phone line?
Another computer in the same place that you have access to, with a serial port?
That's all a terminal is.
[sorry if this doesn't come out correct, i think yahoo webmail
doesn't like bottom posting ]
Er, thanks for that wonderful piece of advice, but I reckon i'd need
a very long phone cable to reach the office at the data centre from
my rack, and i've not tested my usr courier
v34 with kermit for quite some time :)
Sorry i should have been a tad more specific.
Basically i'm after something with an rj-45 -> 25 pin serial (net
instead of phone line modem), so i can reach my sun LOM remotely.
I know cisco do these things, i just can't remember the name of
them, also i'd rather not spend a gazillion quid.
Its kinda in the same train of thought as those aps power strips
one can log into over the network to power cycle machines.
thanks indeey,
Isaac.
