	I have a headless 486/40 which boots soley[1] over its serial port.
(Its my PPP router host at home.) My primary machine (486/66) then kermits
back to it for things like single user mode, etc etc. I can't remember 
the settings I put in /etc/ttys for the getty it runs once its done booting,
but I've been running it that way for some time.

	Of course, I just moved, and ncremp4.ag.iastate.edu's motherboard
is still in a static bag at the bottom of a pile of boxes.

	Once its out of its cocoon I can tell you how its set..

Cheers,
Phil

[1] Its not entirely headless, as the bootblocks don't seem to work with
    -DSERIAL. Is anybody currently using -DSERIAL in their bootblocks?
