Yes that's right. No ssh, no response to pings. System is completely unresponsive to anything but hard power down or reset button. > ...Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO... Thanks that's exactly the info I was looking for. I have a serial cable somewhere (once networked an old 486 over it via PPP or SLIP or something 'cos I couldn't get hold of an ISA ethernet card).
