I absolutely agree that USB is a bad way to go with this, as well as web management.
I have no interest in trying to use some terrible web app to bring a network back up when simple 300 baud would suffice. I've got no problem with telnet/ssh, although I hate the idea of needing to know an ip address to emergency jack in to a device instead of just a bit rate, but please no web app. -Blake On Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 8:00 AM, Saku Ytti <s...@ytti.fi> wrote: > On (2013-01-10 08:57 -0500), Jared Mauch wrote: > > > I am very much against USB consoles. there can be a whole plethora of > issues involved from OS-level to the device-level.
