[info-tech] Hyperterminal help

2008-10-21 Thread Mueller, Mitch
I'm looking for help with HyperTerminal. I'm trying to connect to our H.P. 4208vl switches through the serial port and I'm not have much luck at it. I can't get any keyboard response when it boots up. Anyone got any help out there please let me know. thanks Mitch Mueller

Yes I'm using the DB-9 serial cable that was supplied with the switch if that is what you mean. I'm pretty young and don't know much about serial ports. I was brought up in the USB era so serial ports are different than I'm used to. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf

I'll put in a plug for the 8e6 R3000. Seems to be doing the job for us, and it does remote (off-site) content filtering, also. After we got ours installed, and Apple guy and I tried to defeat it, and were unable to. Not that it isn't possible, but.. --- Timothy A. Limbert Technology

Our policy states that any attempt to bypass school proxies and/or filters is a violation of the AUP and the offender is subject to suspension of privileges. We usually take away all computer access during the regular school day for 2 weeks for 1st offense. Meaning, those without privileges

We make exceptions for games when a teacher requests it for educational purposes and the policy states as much. For instance the SCI rooms have access to some online 'learning' games. All other games sites are a violation. Our filter blocks on the Games category. We also disable thumb drives on

We also make exceptions for the elementary students that the teachers have learning games on their computers. But as for our high school students they do not have any privileges at all and at the middle school there are a few that get them. We do allow the thumb drives but we do not offer the
