If not, can it be adapted? Well, not out of the box, but it should be fairly straighforward. I've heard it was simple for others to get it to work...I don't have a FreeBSD system to try it on, but if you get it to work, please submit patches. > What is the connection model involved?

Multiple TCP ports are used (unfortunately). Between the server and the serial ports, that depends. The server can open local serial ports, remote TCP ports (for terminal servers), and any random command. So, you're serial data could be going across the network, or staying local to the box. If you run the client and server on the same host, then all that traffic will be local as well. I hope that helps explain some of the basics. If not, just ask. Sorry about it taking so long to write back...sorta been "offline" for a bit.

The pm2e is configured to accept connections on port xxxx, one port per machine, using netdata flow, I compiled and configured the conserver software and run it, it works great, can use the console interface to the conserver server and no problem, break signal taken care off, using the proper cabling in between pm2e and sparcs. But every time I loose the connections, conserver comes back saying lost carrier on test1 (1001). Anyone has experienced this ?? Any help, sugestions appreciated. Alfredo Cabrera Just another guy.

So, are you saying that after a while the connection is dropped and you get the "lost carrier" message (which might imply a timeout on the pm2e) or are you saying that while you're interacting with a console you get the message (which might imply a conserver bug) or are you saying that when you disconnect from a console it triggers a "lost carrier" (which is a vaguely familiar message - similar to another user I think)? If you could lay out the exact sequences of events, and under what condition they occur, that would help. I haven't had a chance to configure conserver with a pm2e (yet), so that bit I'm unfamiliar with. Oh, and what version of conserver are you using? Bryan
