We have two Sun boxes that run our primary and secondary nameservers, and the LOM has been very useful during the first couple days of setting them up, but after that, we haven't had to touch them in the last 485 days. However, we have easy access to our datacenter here so remote management isn't all that important for us. Still a good feature for many I'm sure. -- Justin Hopper UNIX Systems Engineer BSDHosting.net Hosting Division of Digital Oasys Inc. http://www.bsdhosting.net
