Hi Tod,

At the moment its a freshly built server, intended for legacy software
to run on. No services are running on it except basic kernel and OS
processes.

I don't have any serial access to it aswell. So the only way in is via
th network, or I have to go down to the datacentre.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Dan
