[NTLUG:Discuss] linux console

[fredjame]

We have the switches - both KVM, and Console types - we want to use the 
Console switch in this case, and we assume that means connecting from a 
serial port on the Linux box to a serial port on the Console switch, as 
with other *NIX boxes (example, SUN).  At any rate I know of no DB15 to 
DB9 pin converter.
