No - 

The machine only has ONE serial console session, but it allows up to
five people to connect to the *same* console - like having two people
attached to the same "screen" session, if you will.

It also allows for a separate chat window so those five people can talk
about what they see on the shared serial console...

(has one RS232 DB25 port, and one 10baseT RJ45 port...)
