Mailing Lists
|
|
|
|
There are currently two mailing lists available at conserver.com.
|
|
announce@conserver.com is an announcement-only mailing list for
|
|
informing of new versions, major developments, etc.
|
|
users@conserver.com is for general Q&A, discussions, ideas, etc for
|
|
conserver users. See http://www.conserver.com/ for pointers to
|
|
these and possibly future lists.

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+conserver@sa.fedex.com). 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.
|
|
Certainty Solutions has been supporting my coding efforts (in too
|
|
many ways to list) since 1996.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The conserver.com Distribution
|
|
|
|
The result is a combination of many people's work. This version is
|
|
being released in hopes that it will help others. There is no
|
|
warranty or support implied by the distribution of the software.
|
|
|
|
As of version 6.1.7, the packaging and numbering sheme has
|
|
changed. I used to package conserver as conserver-GNAC-v.vv.
|
|
Since GNAC (now Certainty Solutions) has changed it's name I've
|
|
decided to drop the GNAC portion and use a 3 digit version number
|
|
(conserver-v.v.v). Why change the version numbering? I need to
|
|
differenciate this thread of the code from the original authors and
|
|
I couldn't come up with a good replacement for the GNAC name - sad,
|
|
but true.

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.conserver.com/consoles/).
