Yes, the login sequence starts from a shell on pi4 RapiOS 
workstation, via ssh  to the terminal server where tip is run 
to access the usb-serial adapter plugged into it.

The netmap is corrected, with a description of the login sequence
used to watch the serial consoles added. I _think_ it's
a bit clearer than before, if not please say so.

A readable (and correct) description of this setup is quite 
difficult to write.  Thanks very much for close reading and
