That *sounds* like the same as > the REMCONS I've been using so far ... no? "Virtual KVM text mode" is referring to using the Web interface to access the Graphical Console -- as I said earlier iLO is using a DVI type connection to the video controller, so it cannot tell if the system is in text or graphics mode. With iLO-2 this is not available in the Telnet/SSH interface (which is textual only) because iLO-2 cannot "screen-scrape" the text off of the graphical screen. -- John
