The switch is connected via serial cable to a CentOS 5.1 x64 server, and I need to connect to it from CentOS, but can't. Please explain to me how it's not related to CentOS? The fact that I mentioned Windows, is purely to indicate that the serial port works, and it can be connected to via serial cable. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stuff
