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.

As we are still getting a minimal attendance, the topics for discussion
are pretty open. Come out and take advantage of the open forum.

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.
