Is there a way to tell Linux, "Use the ascii console unless there isn't one, in which case use the 3215 console instead."? If things have gone south, I'd kinda like to be able to simply attach the ascii console and have Linux start using it right away without the need to issue commands (since I can't so anyway because I've lost connectivity). And for extra credit: when I'm done, simply detaching the console and having Linux go back to the 3215.
