Announcement Mailing List?

    Is anyone out there interested in being on an announcement mailing
    list for conserver? If so, drop me a line (bryan@gnac.com) and
    let me know. I'll start by sending messages when a new version is
    posted, and perhaps it will grow into something more.

Origin

    The console server software found here is a heavily modified version
    originally written by Tom Fine (fine@cis.ohio-state.edu) and then
    Kevin S Braunsdorf (ksb@cc.purdue.edu).  Patches from Robert Olson
    (olson@mcs.anl.gov) were then applied to get network console support.

    Arnold de Leon (arnold@corp.webtv.net) then fixed various bugs and
    added enhancements while at Synopsys.  I then took the result and
    continued fixing things and adding features we found useful.


The GNAC Version

    The result is a combination of many people's work.  We (GNAC)
    are releasing this combination in hopes that it will help others.
    There is no warranty or support implied by our distribution of
    the software.


Downloading

    The latest version can be found at ftp://ftp.gnac.com/pub/conserver/.


Other Good Information

    Zonker Harris has fabulous documents regarding the hookup
    of consoles to terminal servers and other such devices.  His
    Greater Scroll of Console Knowledge is a great place to start
    (http://www.gnac.com/consoles/).
