I just picked up a PM25 for our colo facility, so that I can do remote admin on the FreeBSD boxes ... our two Tyan servers are a piece of cake, as they have DB9 Serial, like I'd expect ... but the Intel motherboards have "External RJ45 serial, internal serial header" on all of there boards, from what I can tell ... but what I can't figure out is how to make use of them ...
The servers are remote, so adding a 9pin serial port onto the 'internal header' is a bit difficult, so am wondering about using the 'external RJ45'. The PM25 cables end in an RJ45 jack, and we had to purchase adapters to go from RJ45->9pin ... can those RJ45 adapters be used to plug into the RJ45 serial directly?
Also, from what I've been able to read so far, the RJ45 == Serial B, not Serial A ... so, I'd need to change how FreeBSD works as far as serial console is concerned, to look at Serial B, no?
Help?
Thanks ...
