Re: KVM via Internet?
Hi, Looks good but unfortunately is ISA only :-/ Since many of our servers don't have legacy ISA support, it won't work :-/ Any other ideas? That one looked pretty good. I wish they had one that translated the stuff directly to asci data that could be pumped over an ethernet connection ;-) Sincerely, Jason - Original Message - From: Mark Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Jason Lim [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 25, 2001 4:59 AM Subject: Re: KVM via Internet?
