motherboard w/ serial BIOS?

motherboard w/ serial BIOS?

[John Heim]

This is slightly OT but can anybody recommend a motherboard with a BIOS 
that can be configured via the serial port? I know such things exist but 
it's hard to find them because googling for "motherboard bios serial port" 
brings up hundreds of pages about configuring the BIOS for the serial port 
on the motherboard.


Even if I just knew what to search for it would be useful.

Hi-end servers usually have such capability, but they're not cheap (and
are usually in a "rackable" shape :) )

Right. I was involved in that thread. In fact, I started it. I have one of 
those soekris machines. But it doesn't have a standard ATX motherboard. 
It's only about 15 cm square. It's got a built in 266 Mhz CPU and only 1 
PCI slot.

I'm looking for a standard ATX motherboard that has the serial BIOS 
feature. I know such things exist because I actually have a Dell 4100 with 
it. It's about 100 years old though.

I think the bords that can be configured like that is called Sucris or
Secris..
Check the speakup mailing list archives as there was a discussion 
regarding that some time ago.
Those archives can be found on www.linux-speakup.org.
These bords are lite wheight and normally used for routers and such kind 
of devices.
HTH, Willem
