[SunRescue] Terminal servers and serial consoles (was: SS2 running headless)

[rescue at sunhelp.org]

We also have this funny setup that is 2 sbus cards with these rack mount 8
or 12 (I think) serial ports on them. Then you can run a program called
console on the sparc to get to the other machines? It allows for
authentication and such from what I heard.
