I've been getting quotes from Bob Sidhu at Iron Systems for the last few hours, he's been very responsive to my queries regarding serial BIOS redirection and OpenBSD supported cards. I'm working on a serial console server project and have some odd requirements to meet, plus a (relatively) tight budget. > I ended up buying one machine (for starters) from the folks at Iron > Systems.

I don't mind waiting a couple of extra days to get a system that I *know* will work. I'll definitely include Iron on my short list of vendors for my next project, even if it does mean fighting with our purchasing department to buy computers from !(Dell|Sun).
