Peter Wemm 5d18ff83bb A port for conserver. conserver is the answer to serial consoles. :-)
There is a later version of conserver, but it requires a rather extensive
build environment and set of tools to build it.  This version works is
nice and stable though.

This program provides a convenient way to manage many remote serial
consoles for machines. A server (conserver(8)) runs on each server
machine and it connects to the specified serial port. It can log,
provide shared access to remote consoles, etc. If there are multiple
machines running conserver(8), a master conserver(8) can be run to
connect to all the slave servers, providing a single point of access
to the entire cluster.
This is very handy for remote unattended FreeBSD servers. It can
send serial break signals (if the driver supports it, cy does not!)
which is useful for breaking into DDB on hung machines.
