One of the things it could do was I think the real challenge here is to implement gdb-remote. I was at Cisco a little while back and got asked this - apparently the Cisco engineers use the gdb-remote features of their routers to debug IOS over serial lines. We could do the same thing with serial console support and a command in ddb to drop into gdb-remote mode, then you'd just fire up your gdb on some other box and say "over there! I want to debug that guy!" Jordan
