You really want to leave the serial port alone.  That's the only place 
you'll have a console on the net4801 box.  If I recall there is a header 
for a second serial port so you could use that for your weather 
instrument.  You'd have to add a hole on the case for the second port, 
but that shouldn't be too hard if you have access to a Dremel tool.
