Worth noting:  I've had a horrendous time getting the serial console 
running from the "printer" port.  I've given up and moved my modem there, 
and put my terminal on the "modem" port.

I'm running Booter 1.8, and I've triple checked the settings in the 
Options -> Booting dialog to no avail.  I don't really have the time to 
investigate this at the moment, unfortunately.
