What physical connection do you have to the machines? For various reasons we
want a serial connection to 'tip' (I'm not good with *nix terminology, but
that what she said) into the Sun boxen.

If you could give me more details on exactly how you're set up, we'd rather
benefit from your experience than reinvent the wheel! Besides, there's
probably beverages involved ;)
