If you have a MP card on a Integrity server (or workstation) and need _only_ the (local) console function, you can use a regular 25-pin null modem cable to access the console functions and of course the other MP functions as well. The 25-pin interface is wired so that the console uses the standard pins (2,3 and 7).

Of course you can use the LAN console functions provided with the MP card. In some cases only the MP serial interface will be accessible and usable.

The MP card is otherwise useful also. E.g. if the machine crashes, you'll be able to check the logs for what has happened or if the machine is completely jammed, you can reset it remotely.

That's what I said (or tried to say).   Also, I know what a MP card is, I use it
almost on a daily basis...
