Theres magical cables that break it out to a normal serial cable, I have some - not sure where you owuld source them though. I beleive they are the same as apples. > 3.

Really you can only do that once its installed, and then ssh or something to it. -- Cheers, Trent Sixlabs GPG Fingerprint: 6EFF FE20 BFE3 F721 6F26 B13A F974 3E56 04AB 3C5D I accept GPG encrypted mail, do you? o_O
