98.1Nope, Not in V1.1OPG::PHILIPAnd through the square window...Thu Oct 07 1993 12:538
Guy,

  Not in V1.1, you could submit a phase 0 request
  for V1.1+ when phase 0 opens (although I dont know
  when that will be).

Cheers,
Phil
98.2What do you want to be able to do??OPG::SIMONThu Oct 07 1993 17:316
Hi,
   I am trying to understand what you are trying to achieve with a dial up.

Could you send more details of what you want to try.

Cheers Simon......
98.3the configurationATYISA::NEYERSFri Oct 08 1993 11:2322
    Here is the constumer configuration :
    
    18 remote systems. (DEC alpha/OSF1)
    1 central site . (DEC alpha/OSF1)
    
    All the remote sites are connected to the central site over X25
    (TCP/IP).
    
    The administrator is localised on the central site. He would like to
    bo able to control all the remote systems ( boot, reboot and so on) and
    this without using X25.
    
    So the solution seems to be Console Manager , but i 'm trying to define
    the required hardware to bypass X25. 
    
    Dial up lines are only  planned  solutions. If you have others
    hardware possibilties with CM , any ideas would be appreciate . 
    
    Thanks for your quick answer and your future help.
    
    guy.
    
98.4Why not use the X.25??OPG::SIMONFri Oct 08 1993 13:0120

Why do you not wish to use the TCPIP and X25 for the connections? 

If the IT implimentation supports TELNET ( and I see no reason why not ) just 
use TELNET terminal servers on each of the sites.

Surely dialups would be very much more expensive.
