Did you try the nic in a pc to make sure it works?

There is a way to connect to system using the serial port on back, but I can't remember the comm port settings in hyperterminal. I think they are 9600, n , 8 , 2 or could be 9600, e , 8 ,2. it's been years since I have done it. You will also need a null terminal adapter(you can get one from Radio shack for a few bucks). If you attempt this you can change the settings untill the characters on screen look correct then your in. It's like using telnet to telnet into another system.

One way to tell if it is a guardian os is to connect drives to a pc running linux and see if you can see any partitions on drive. A snap os will not show any partitions but a quardian os is really nothing more than redhat linux. You can also use winhex or anything that will recognize a partition even if it is linux. THen you will know if it is guardian or snap os.

I am really getting currious about this unit and want to see it up and running for you.
