You need IP and UDP to do "real" remote syslogging, which ELKS
doesn't have.
I think that there's a syslogger for DOS, but I wouldn't care to
guess where it might be found.
I would advise setting up your Linux box to log important stuff
out of its serial port and do a:
# cat /dev/ttyS0 | tee logfile
on the ELKS box.
Not a very sophisticated solution, though :)
