The main problems that I found were:
- ipmitool was not treating NACK packets from the BMC properly and got stuck in a loop
- this BMC does not seem to return a valid "accepted character count" in its ACK messages so with the "-o intelplus" option it now ignores this field and pretends a valid ACK packet with 0 in the accepted character count field is ok.
Now with this setup everything works as expected, provided you enable flow control either by modifying /etc/inittab to tell whatever getty program to enable flow control (-h for agetty) or by using stty to enable it with "stty crtscts </dev/ttyS1 >/dev/ttyS1".
I have also merged the patch from 'jb'j' but more on that later when I finish catching up on email...

This is the issue that I have been having when trying to use IPMITOOL to
perform serial-over-lan.
I do not think that this is to do with BAUD rate differences between
BIOS and BMC. I think this can be fixed in the IPMITOOL code.
