Tip works pretty well for this sort of thing. Depending on which
serial port you're using, you can add lines to /etc/remote that
look like:

porta:dv=/dev/cua/a:br#9600
portb:dv=/dev/cua/b:br#9600

and just run "tip porta" or "tip portb". Port A is the 25 pin port,
and port B is the 9 pin port. You should be able to use the same
sort of console with port B as you'd use with a PC serial port.
