- I've got a "spare" 386SX/20 machine here with 140MB or so of hard disk
- space that I'd like to play around with 386BSD on. Unfortunately, I
- don't have a spare keyboard, display board, or monitor, and I don't
- particularly relish the thought of spending a hundred bucks or so for
- those pieces of equipment. However, I *do* have several serial
- terminals sitting here unused, and it would be nice if I could use one
- of them as the console. Is this even remotely possible?
