DIY SnapServer

[Don Harrop]

This isn't quite what was asked for but I know you could setup a system
without a monitor or keyboard and use the serial port to login to the
console.  I remember reading a HOWTO or something on the steps to set this
up but I can't remember where it was.  Does anyone else know where I could
get that info again?  Also, I just got in from San Francisco this morning
at 4am because of flight disruptions due to the bad weather Phoenix
got.  I had to be to work this morning by eight o'clock so I only slept
about an hour and a half..  I need someone to cover for me.  Nothing is
more dangerous than a tired Sys Admin with root access.. ;-)

I'm also going through a learning curve with HP-UX right now.  If anyone
has some good resources (books, URL's, etc.) lemme know..
