There are methods to get the console terminal session, remotely. |
| 17 |
One, is called "netconsole" [1]. I use to use this sort of thing |
| 18 |
decades ago. How it is currently supported and the associated codes |
| 19 |
(ssh) to use it remotely, I have not kept up with. Some headless embedded |
| 20 |
system still use this sort of thing; with holes punched in the |
| 21 |
routers/firewalls..... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I've also heard of folks setting up a serial console over serial-2-usb |
| 24 |
converter, like ftdi, and then making a terminal session connection |
| 25 |
form a remote cell phone to another cell phone, to tunnel an ascii |
| 26 |
terminal session. I've never done this, but I'd be really curious how |
| 27 |
somebody makes that sort of 9600 baud terminal connection to a remote |
| 28 |
router or server, via a serial/console port.... using cell phones |
| 29 |
as modems. |
