Hi,

We are currently investigating the possibility of setting up
a console server. It would reside on a Compaq PC running Lynux
(Redhat 5.2).

Would you have any suggestions on communication software that I could
install that would allow remote access.
Thanks,
Pierre Charbonneau

What exactly do you want it to be a console server for? unix boxes?
Assuming you have several serial ports, just plug them into what ever machines you want to be the console for. From here on our there are MANY configuration options, depending on exactly how you want to access it. One of the simplest is to just telnet to the linux box and run a program like minicom (which should be included with redhat– assuming you chose to load it– try /usr/bin/minicom). Minicom is a serial communications program commonly used to control a modem for dialing BBS’s, etc. I use it daily as a console for programming routers. Basically you start up minicom, select the serial port you want to use, set the baud rate to what ever you need (typically 9600, 8N1) and go.

We now have a room at the Rideau Campus of Algonquin, room E128 booked from 6pm until 10pm.

We may be holding future meetings at the Rideau campus of Algonquin, but
that has not yet been confirmed. If this does not pan out, we will have
the meeting at the Ambleside Board Room as per the previous meetings.

You might want to investigate VNC as a remote management tool, but then
you could also just telnet to the box. The solution would most likely be
dependant on what you are trying to accomplish. The easiest method would
be telnet.
