Hi all,
I´m scratching my head trying to configure Serial over LAN on a Supermicro AOC-IPMI20-E and PDSMA-E+ MB...seems I´m alone on this either:

I have read the instruction manual that came with the IPMI-card

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/console-server/freebsd.html
And weeks digging through what Mr. Google can offer. Point is, what I´ve found so far seems to bee kind of loose, outdated and often contradicting to what other sources have said. It´s really hard to make any sense of it.
I´m at a point where I´ve configured IPMI to work, except for SoL. I can start a session, but it only returns jibberish. I can remotely access via Supermicro´s IPMIView-java client, ipmitool locally and remotely and perform all functions, except for SoL. It would seem that which is the most exciting is also the trickiest.
I would like to hear some real success stories here, and exactly how it was done, that would be awesome!
Most importantly, if anyone is struggling to get where I´m at now, don´t be afraid to ask.
