For the scenario where you have two openbsd hosts, one connected to

second?

Then, on either box, I can do this to get to the console on its neighbour:
$ sudo tip tty01

When I saw that, I added myself to the dialer group so that I can tip to
another box over the serial line without sudo:
$ ls -l /dev/tty01
crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 8, 1 Sep 20 08:20 /dev/tty01
$ groups
staff wheel operator dialer
$ tip tty01
connected
Nice one, thanks for the idea!
