Serial-over-lan (sol) client for Intel AMT

Edit Package amtterm

AMT (included in Intel vPro and Centrino Pro) provides out-of-band
(OOB) management for Desktops and Laptops, using an agent integrated in
the network adapter and in the motherboard.

Serial-over-lan provides a (secure) way to connect a remote computer,
through a pseudo serial interface.

This package provide 2 terminals (amtterm and gamt) to connect to that
pseudo serial interface from a remote computer. amttool is a perl
script to gather informations about and remotely control AMT managed
computers.

The latest version from the official repo does not work with newer AMT 16.x hosts which no longer accept non-ssl versions. The connection just times out. There is a cloned repo at https://github.com/jerryabramson/amtterm_ssl that fixes this issue. It allows to just connect via SSL without caring about certificate validation (using -N) but you can also download the self-signed certificates from the amt host by openssl s_client -connect <ip>:16993 < /dev/null 2> /dev/null | openssl x509 > myhost.cert and then connect by "amtterm -C myhost.cert ..." Mutual TLS is also possible etc.

It's 100% backwards compatible, so I wonder if you might consider switching to this code base. For us it's the only available AMT SOL tool that works for our 16.x AMT hosts (except for meshcommander, but that's GUI-only, and the non-GUI version has several flaws). cu, Frank
