Remote Managment is a term forgin to NT, not Linux. (It's not so forgien to Windows 2000, but I'm not all that impressed with RDP, and that a different kettle of fish anyway) You're remote managment WILL be done via ssh. Don't even mention telnet, kay? (Putty is an excellent free windows ssh1 client. It does lack the port forwarding features you sometimes need for remote admin, so you'll probally want to grab the ssh addon for teraterm pro. Downside is tera terms vt100 emulation is a bit wacked, but it's free!. The best commercial ssh client I've used is FSecure SSH. Secure CRT is ok. You might want to look at the latest XWin Pro [http://www.starnet.com] if you must use Xbased admin tools. XWin Pro now ships with a SSH client to forward those X11 requests around. [Try not to. Try not to have X on the box period...]) For a UNIX server I don't see any advantage to getting this card. Looks like a good product for windows nt/2000 servers though, but who's crazy enough to give a NT server a public IP? :) -- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | (WEB) http://www.ltiflex.com LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | (PH) 763-428-9119 (EX) 132 21801 Industrial Blvd | (FX) 763-428-9126 Rogers, MN 55374 | (PCS) 612-306-6055 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
