Re: [Soekris] Garbage Over Serial Console for Brand-New 6501

2015-05-11 Thread Paul Bartell
It really sounds like a baud rate mismatch. Try a few other standard ones and see what happens there? (9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200). It sounds like you might have local echo enabled on your openbsd terminal emulator. That's why the terminal might appear to be read/write instead of just

Re: [Soekris] New to using Soekris and have a question about DSL compatability

2010-08-27 Thread Paul Bartell
Maybe you could offer more information. Normally DSL lines have DSL modems which each have separate ethernet jacks. Basically, the Net4801 and most other embedded computers only natively support ethernet over cat5/cat6 or whatnot. There are some DSL cards (PCI) that exist that simply show up as

Id suggest running DOS on the soekris box, with a serial console (the soekris bios might do this for you.. not sure) and a second serial port (connected to whatever it is). Running a telnet server would make it easy to remotely access the software, though security could be an issue. Another way

Um i think you are mistaken. The 5501 board will not provide Power over ethernet but rather can be powered by power over ethernet. You could do some kind of sketchy soldering to make it provide power, but that would surely void the warranty. You need to get a power over ethernet injector for the
