[BBLISA] Sun terminal servers

[Betsy Schwartz]

What do you all like for Sun console servers? And what are your thoughts on 
the linux-based servers?


Absolute requirements:
    SSH2 and some ability to patch /flash/upgrade holes
    Do The Right Thing for Sun Breaks (send deliberate, don't send 
unintentional)
    100 Mps
    graceful recovery after power outage

Optional but useful:
    LDAP/other network authentication aware (highest)
    power management (or could do separately)
    secure OOB dialup access
    linux inside?
    GigE upgrade-able

Don't need:
    high availability   ,    wintel support,    high price

Expandability: depends whether it's cheaper to get one big one or multiple 
little ones.

Thanks Betsy
