We still have an old FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p26 machine lying around only because it's using those Stallion multiport serial cards. It's working, but it's quite annoying to keep such an old FreeBSD version online. We had to isolate this machine into it's own network DMZ since version 4.11 isn't covered by the FreeBSD Security team. To get around this problem, we recently built another console server with a Digi Digiboard PCI PC/Xem card on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p12. It's working great, so we're going to ditch the old Stallion cards. Unless of course someone ports the stl(4) driver to FreeBSD 7.x If you'd like to read the documentation on how I've setup the console server with both the Digi board and the Stallion cards, check http://wiki.zerocatastrophe.com/wiki/UNIX/FreeBSD/ConsoleServer HTH, David -- David Robillard UNIX systems administrator & Oracle DBA CISSP, RHCE & Sun Certified Security Administrator Montreal: +1 514 966 0122 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
