> I have a GS80 partitioned as 2 servers. Currently we access the console via ConsoleWorks running on a Windows PC. I would like to be able to use a Unix console server in place of the PC. I havan't had any luck connecting a serial console directly to the GS80s. The Unix console server is working just fine with ES40 and DS20.
