I don't see that anywhere that he using an serial cable. He says that
he has a "crossover cable" and for me thats a "crossover Ethernet
cable" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable. That
would make things easier, if he just get the network up, transfer
files with sftp/fish is easy and he don't need to use any CLI tools
for that.
