[ale] getty for ttyS1 -> file?

[Robert L. Harris]

Actually came up with a simple solution:

screen                                                                                                                  
sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyS1                                                                                               
cat < /dev/ttyS1 >> /tmp/foo                                                                                            

Basically some people in atlanta need to be able to monitor the console
port of a router in miami that's not behaving and next week there'll be
no-one in the miami space.


Thus spake Dow Hurst (dhurst at kennesaw.edu):
