quiet interesting that serial port thingy! do you know the name of it
btw? I will be interested to install on of them... and start saving
some money going to my office :D when i can not use even ssh...

I had to look it up... Here's what I have:

http://www.digi.com/products/serialservers/portservertsmei.jsp#overview

Basically, this box needs its own internet connection. You can ssh into it. I think it has some sort of embedded Linux system.

Then the box has two serial port connectors -- this is a real rs-232 type interface, that most servers have, but hardly any desktops have anymore.

You plug the serial connector into the computer and that's it. Knock on wood, I've never needed it, but I bought it for just this sort of thing.

My build-world is finally done, so going to see if it works, now...
