Yes, I have such a setup... eventually I configured it given the "oddball" systems I like to keep running. I have a small x86 system with RS232 (so I know its serial console is working reliably and I am not fighting against other ghosts) that now double-acts as a file server and serial console machine. I can connect then "once" to my SPARC and SPARC64 systems or Raspberry, MIPS boards. I used laptops, but sometimes you really fight getting the correct serial console working, should be easy...but. Also they are getting scarce! The only drawback is that with Netra and Fire, I can just plug-in and plug-out the serial cable. On SS4/SS10/SS20 if I do plug out I usually hang the machine due debugger, I think it interprets a break or such. SO I need to run both systems and both connected to each other, a little inconvenient to do always. Riccardo
