Nope. It's an old 1U server that we just use for utility tasks such as
the console server.
I can tell you that during the debug, the box was nearly locked up.
Could something unusual be happening just due to the sheer number of USB
to serial adapters involved? There's 16 on one box, 8 on another. In
total, I think 20 are actually in use.
Any other information I can provide?
Thanks,
