The thing is that he only jumps from one box to the other, not through more/all of them.=20 I actually prefer this solution over a portmaster, unless it supports SSH. I would hate to telnet with a clear-text password across the Internet. SSH'ing into a live system, and them calling upon the other system via serial port seems like a good solution to me.
