This document describes how to install, configure, and maintain a Console Serverbased around a PC running linux, a multi-port serial card and the conserver package.
The department maintains a large number of Linux and Solaris servers, we configure them to allow console access via a serial port partly because of space issues and partly because this makes them much easier to maintain remotely. This means that we need to have a system which supports a large number of serial connections. As we are spread over a number of locations we also need a system which can deal with this transparently.
