Hmmm... someone not long ago (Guy Smith?) figured out a way with DTC-Manager
to telnet to a DTC port and loop a cable over to an adjacent port as a quick
and dirty way to get telnet access to the system.  Wonder if this scheme
would work if you ran a cable to the support modem port to get the console
via telnet?  Anyone tried?  It would certainly be a neat trick...
