Wait.. how so? I was sure that the whose SOL (IPMI) protocal is running over
IP and i can REMOTELY (e.g. from anoth planet with IP connection) access
the machine in the data center. If i can do such thing, then it DOES run over IP
eventually. Isn't it?

Yes, my bad, I spoke too quickly, it does use IP, sorry,
I still find SOL much more descriptive of what I think about
the whole apparatus however :)
