last time I tried to upgrade inetd service using telnet... You can understand
what happened - due to upgrade inetd was shut down, while shutting down inetd
killed my own shell... As soon as my shell was killed - it killed current job
- upgrade process was interrupted :-(((

I have at least 2 motherboard with broken (integrated) serial controlers,
because of some peoples who like to pull the plugs from turned on PC... :-(

I have a network server. Server has no monitor/keyboard.
I need a way to upgrade some network packages.
Doing this using telnet/ssh is impossible because upgrade process may require
network restart. Using serial cable will tie one PC (I do not have this one) to
the server.
PS I'm using Debian 2.2 for server. SuSE 6.2 is running on my desktop.
