Yes, the PE2450 was the first server that supported console redirection in the bios. Is at the top of the bios first page. There are dongles that will take a serial port to cat5 and you can take through a special kind of switch and do the console redirection from that (we are using in our either released, or soon to release beowulf setups).

Unfortunately the servers are collocated in a facility that is a 4 hour drive from me right now and I cannot check. I will be heading down there in about 10 days and would like a definitive answer on this one well before then if possible. I am not concerned about GUI unless you call the GRUB screen GUI :) Thanks Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 11:24 AM Subject: RE: Console Redirection > This is my understanding and if is incorrect, please someone help me.
