Well, chaining is such a strong word. How about "connecting the serial ports in a ring"? The thing is that he only jumps from one box to the other, not through more/all of them. I actually prefer this solution over a portmaster, unless it supports SSH. I would hate to telnet with a clear-text password across the Internet. SSH'ing into a live system, and them calling upon the other system via serial port seems like a good solution to me. Cheers, Frank
