Rick,

When the remote console is enabled the output is routed to both the physical
console and the remote console. To eliminate contention on the input side,
only one side can type at a type. The active keyboard is the side which last
pressed the <BREAK> key. If your local console thinks the remote is still
active and in control, you may be able to get control back by hitting
<BREAK>.
