>Serial or Ethernet?

Serial, for sure, since you might not even have an ethernet card.

Ethernet would be cool, though.  NeXTStep does this, (they don't use
IP, just raw ethernet frames), and I could at least figure out what
protocol they use if we care about being compatible.

Raw ethernet has the advantage of being easier to implement, but the
disadvantage of needing to do your debugging from a box on the same
physical network.
