I use it for a null-modem link to another machine. In combination with
putting lilo on the same link (and maybe with 2.1.x's serial console
feature) this is a REALLY nice way to save a monitor, graphics card,
keyboard and to keep a way to connect to the box if the network is hosed.
I don't like the idea to switch to a getty without serial support. Maybe
we'll once enhance our setup to run over a serial line (as it's possible
with FreeBSD).
