btw....this seems like a good time to mention some software i've been
working with recently.  it's called 'vantage console manager' from a
company called 'asp technologies' (<http://www.asptech.com/>).

we've tapped into the console data stream from a couple of our boxes
and route/replicate the console traffic to a unix (hp-ux) system
running vantage.  vantage has been 'trained' to watch for different
'events' -- different messages flying across the console -- and respond
however we need.

vantage is very well-written and i'm quite impressed.  everytime i've
asked "can it do <this>?"  allen (the guy that writes the code) says
"it sure can!" -- including being able to 'be on the console' from your
unix system.  (kinda beats having to drive in at 2am :-)

allen (the 'a' in asp) and phil (the 'p' in asp and the company
president) are both former hp'ers and have mpe backgrounds.  so you can
say "showjob" to them...and they'll know what you mean :-)

just my two-cents about the product....
