Serial lines as consoles are still with us, since a serial port can be used for communication even when all else has failed on the system. I built my own based on an off-hand comment by someone on the OpenBSD lists. I'll walk through how and why I did it along with the history and improvements in my solution.
The talk will walk through my implementation choices and their good points, bad points, and points I shouldn't admit to in public. At the end of this talk, attendees should have a good sense of the issues around building their own console server and be able to avoid some of the pitfalls I came across.
