Hiya Guys,

I am wanting to do a (semi) remote installation of a linux server. The
server does not have a monitor, so what I want to do is output the console
output of the server onto an xterm on my laptop.

|--------|                        |--------|
| SERVER-|-serial------------RJ45-| LAPTOP |
|--------|                        |--------|

After reading the docs, when lilo appears, I can redirect the output to
the serial port with

<kernel> console=ttyS0

The question is, how do I get the laptop to pick up the redirection via
the RJ45 network port? What software is needed for this?


Thanks in advance.

Monkey
