If your asking how to configure a serial console take a peek at this: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/ If your asking what you can hook your serial console up to, such as a terminal server, I've had good luck with Cyclades terminal servers(since bought by Advocent so not sure how they are today) If your asking something else, your question didn't make sense to me try to re-phrase it. nate
