The idea is to connect pairs of systems with 2 serial cables to create a bidirectional link. We would then run a getty over one of the ports on each machine. This would allow us to login to any server if networking breaks.

The following is a list of our servers and how many serial ports they currently have:

  • caffeine (1 or 2)
  • natural-flavours (1)
  • artificial-flavours (1)
  • perpugilliam (2)
  • citric-acid (2)
  • potassium-citrate (2)
