I'm wondering if there's a possibility to use USB console as this would be even better for this case because you could build some kind of network using USB hubs where the PCs don't need to rely on their twins for serial console access. If you got one up, you can access all of them... And after all, USB ports are more common today than serial ones ;-) Best regards, Gabriel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
