portmaster serial/terminal servers with FreeBSD ...

[Marc G. Fournier]

Anyone have any warnings about these?  I'm thinking of picking one up so 
that I can monitor the remote servers, especially through a reboot, better 
... looking at the PM-25 model (25 port through fan-out cables) ... my 
understanding, on the FreeBSD side, is that I just need to add -P to 
/boot.config, and it will probe the serial port for a serial console ... 
anything else on a 4.x machine that needs to be done?  Used to be 
something in the kernel, if I recall correctly, but think that was removed 
... ?
