Hm - I can try WOL as soon as I find anyone to switch the machine on  
remotely, so I can find out its mac address :-).

The ESC sequence seriously doesn't work though - is my BMC firmware  
too old for that too?
How do I update the firmware?

On reset I get these messages on the serial port:

BMC reset --

OB Build Timestamp = 1207320877

PPC970InitDrv: Get_NV_Data: There are 4 CPU cores.
   VccOffset = 50 mV
PPC970InitDrv: Freq2Idx[ ] does not support specified frequency of  
2520 MHz.                 : Hardcoding to 2500 MHz

Serial console jumper is set to display SLOF output.

Thanks,
