Hello Laurie,

Yes, IPMI as I suppose is in general method of comunication with Baseboard 
Management Controller - BMC ( from side of System Management Software - SMS ) 
but KCS is kind of interface beetwen BMC and SMS (sorry for this stupid 
shortcut but this is a part of IPMI terminology) and my doubts are connected 
with method of comunication from user application to BMD through KCS driver. 
IPMI specification defined other interfaces what force on developer 
implementing universal interface to IPMI.

Best regards,
jezry
