The next meeting will be Tuesday, May 18, 1999

Location: Rideau Campus, Algonquin College
Room: To Be Determined
Time: 7pm until 9:30 pm

We have decided that the third Tuesday of every month will be the
meeting night, and that we have a permanent home at Algonquin. Once
we have nailed down a room, the meetings can be cast in stone.

Directions:
Algonquin is off the Nicholas split of the Queensway on Lees Avenue.
The Ottawa Carleton Linux Users Group have a map located at the
following URL: http://www.oclug.on.ca/news.php
According to their web page, parking is free.

To whom it may concern:

I am an experienced UNIX systems administration consultant traveling in
Ottawa/Toronto area on business in the next three months. During which time
I would like to have the opportunities to network with talented people in
the same field. If you may send me contact and event information, I’d
appreciate it.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Sincerely

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.

The April meeting will be held on the 20th, at 19:30hrs. The location is
yet to be determined.

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.
