One of these services ought to be serial console access. I've currently got an old Cyclades box in service, but I'm curious to just sport a multiport serial card and run conserver directly on the nanny box. So: Can anyone recommend an 8-port or so serial card that works under FreeBSD? Or if you want to give feedback on a console server, I'm happy to hear that as well. I am especially curious if anyone has experienbce with Opengear, as their hardware appears to be VERY competetively priced ... perhaps some can confirm that MP4066R work with puc(4)?
