Thanks!  These instructions worked great.

I am now investigating the FreeIPMI and IPMIUtil packages.

http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/index.html
http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net/

There seems to be a lot of overlap -- does anyone have any experience or 
preferences with what works best?

Finally, has anyone gotten SOL (serial over lan) working?

Cheers!
