Put them in a cycle, unless you only have one serial port per box. With two ports per box, make the first port the console, and the second one connects to the box above it. The top box connects to the bottom box. Much easier is to get a terminal server like the Cyclades TS1000, which provides a nice secure no-moving-parts machine with which to access your serial ports. I have mine set up to require SSH connection to a specific user name which is passed through to the serial port for the proper server. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
