@dervishe The newer ones do HTML fine; you might be able to firmware upgrade the iDRAC - I've done it to a few boxes in the past.

@penguin42 Unfortunately, i'm not the owner of the machine, i rent it and i'm not allowed to do it...

@dervishe Ah OK; yeh it's certainly a little hairy upgrading the firmware, and I've had some I've had to power cycle after the upgrade; so on a rented box, hmm...

@penguin42 actually, i use an old java version in a window vm to join it. And...
I'm not able to login into it (the system is fine) because of keyboards map issues (Can't have digits or special chards...)
I am loosing the very few last hairs i managed to keep all of those years

@dervishe Last time I did it, I think I used java on Linux to do it.

@dervishe I think it downloads a small file, you can then run it using javaws; I think there's a timeout where you have to do it while it still thinks it should allow your host to connect.
