Re: Using nslu2 as remote console

[Björn Wetterbom <bjorn@wetterbom.se>]

Thank you for your input. Special thanks to Daniel who made me think a little about kernel and bootloader output to the console. I was planning on using the onboard serial, but my solution will now include one of these:

I have used it before and it works out of the box on Debian.

 PL2303-based USB-to-serial converters: available from maplin's for
about £15.  absolutely great, i use one to connect my laptop - ok
_used_ to (it's dead) - to an embedded serial box, ran console on
that, worked perfectly.  bizarre, going back to 30-year-old
technology, but there you go.
