is Telnet server option available on 7600's firmware?  If so
s" enet:telnet,192.168.199.168 " io
then telnet in, and then you only need a 2nd computer with network, not 
necessarily
a mac, or serial.  Change ip to what you want, its the apple's.

Failing that.. I don't know.  Need a way to dump output of dev / ls 
etc. right?
Output to file isn't possible, feasible, need some serious forth to 
implement though...

Can you read the nvram from linux?
If so.. I might be able to hack something up.  I'm thinking
use "boot", to source some forth code, store it in nvramrc , then go to 
linux
and read it via /dev/nvram (sp?)
