Talk:Console server

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Merge proposal

There is a proposal to merge "Console Server" and "Console server." Good catch on finding the duplicate articles. I support this proposal and in fact don't believe it requires further discussion. Both articles are identical, except for a spam link which should be deleted anyway. I will just go ahead and redirect "Console Server" to this article. JonHarder 02:12, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge again

I have merged Serial console server into this article, and rewritten it to be more encyclopedic. As part of the rewrite, I have removed this bit of the article:

Console servers are typically used with serial devices such as routers and GNU/Linux servers, but can be discussed as part of a wider concept; including industrial and automation devices, out-of-band management, logging and monitoring.

I'm not saying this doesn't belong here, but much more needs to be said about it, or more done to integrate it into the article; as it was, it didn't add any real information to the article for anyone who wasn't already familiar with the subject. (If it had done, I might have been able to do it myself)
