IPMI Question

[Rodman Frowert]

Thank you guys for your suggestions.

I'll check out ipmiutils and see how I like that.

I downloaded the Dell Managment Console, but that appears to be a server 
side application.  I was hoping that there had to be a simple client-side 
gui that will interact with IPMI over the LAN without all kinds of fancy 
things loaded on the server itself.
