I want to connect four remotely administered FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE boxes
with null modem cables so that I have remote console / kernel debugger
capabilities.

Ideally, I'd like to "cross-wire" the boxes.  Can the serial port
configured for use as serial console / kgdb access port also be used
with tip or similar to provide access to the serial console of the box
on the other end of the serial cable?

From my reading of the handbook, it looks like I can only have one
serial console per box.  Is this correct?

Ciao,
Sheldon.
