About any terminal program will do. I used the "HyperTerminal" that comes
with Windows 95 (puke) today to talk to a Sun SparcStation 5. It
worked. ;)

If you can tell me a proper place on where to mention this, i'll be happy
to drop a note into htdocs. Maybe we should have a "serial console" page
similar to the netboot page?
