[ale] serial console

I would like to use the linux serial console for one of my boxes.  What 
I'd like to do is have that serial connected to the serial of my primary 
box so that I could pull up an xterm on that box with the console output 
of the previous box.  Does that make sense?

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had ever done this?  I know you 
normally need a null modem cable for serial console, but I'm thinking 
that since I'm going to another serial port, that won't be necessary, or 
would it??

Anyone see why this is NOT feasible?
