I use 'Screen' to talk to the SheevaPlug via its serial USB connection: # screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 This gets me to a login screen on the SheevaPlug. The serial USB connection is only used for installation and if the network connection to the SheevaPlug is unavailable for any reason. Screen should get a medal. -- Regards, Gregory.

Just out of curiousity, where did you look? Maybe a link from where you looked to that page might be of use to make the documentation better? Also, the problem with most documented features is, if someone isn't aware of a certain feature, that person might not even look for it and will continue doing things in a sub-optimal method. -- Joost
