If I have 2 machines, could I connect the machines to each other via
serial cable, in order to be able to reach each others' console in case

I know how to config it, I was just wondering if it would not bite each
other.

I'm looking into running ftps for my webhosting server. But the ftpd of
BSD seems incapable of doing so.
Are there plans to implement this, or am I overlooking something?
I'm aware of the fact that I can run a ftp server from ports to do this,
but I would like to keep it as simple as possible.
