I suppose the idea that serial is still usefull, as you'd need speech on some console with linux to make the telnet session halfway usefull. I've tried it in win telnet before connecting to a system, and it just seems too messy how things are read. It seems in that case it always repeats a bunch of lines before what just came up, making file editing near impossible. It's something like login: bharding bharding password login bharding password last login, blah blah blah and whenever I type a command it continues to reread the junk.
