I don't know about Bering, but Dachstein doesn't come with a telnet server. You can grab one from an older release if necessary...IIRC, telnet.in is about 10K.But I the biggest problem with Bering is, that it's impossible to use ssh (too big and the smaller from dachstein need some libaries) and telnet doesn't work (I dont know why - I set everything -superdaemon, shorewall, securetty,...) Is it possible to use serial line only with TX/RX/GND signal (over unused wires in TP cable)?
You could use the four extra wires in a typical ethernet cable as a serial link, provided the systems are not too far apart, and their grounds are very close to the same potential. I have personally had to do this before, as well as using the two extra pairs as a second network connection (effectively doubling the cable capacity).
*WARNING* In large commercial buildings with multiple power distribution panels, it is quite possible to get large voltage potntials between the "grounds" of systems plugged into seperate circuits. You can literally melt wires, and cause lots of other problems if you create what is known as a "ground loop" between grounds of significanlty differing potential.
NOTE: While there is the possability of this sort of problem in a residential environment, it is much less common than in commercial settings. Also note that you will be in no greater danger when using the spare wires in your CAT-5 cable, than you would be by using a standard serial cable, which also ties the grounds of the two systems together.
