Conserver + IPMI/Serial Over LAN

Hi all,

Using a small expect script as glue, I've managed to plug conserver into 
Intel's "dpcproxy" program, which lets you speak their Serial Over LAN 
(sol) protocol to Intel motherboards with IPMI (such as the Intel 
SE7501WV2, which I understand is also used by some of Sun's "SunFire" 
Xeon servers).

I have used this to implement serial consoles + serial BIOS on a half 
rack of servers, with only ethernet, and power connections to each 
machine - no serial concentrators or serial cabling required (!) - IPMI 
also gives you remote power on/off, and hardware health stuff, amongst 
other things.

If anyone is interested, I've posted the glue script here:

Any comments welcome!

Ta,

Tim.
