FreeBSD comms : conserver

Manage remote serial consoles via TCP/IP

 This program provides a convenient way to manage many remote serial
consoles for machines.  A server (conserver(8)) runs on each server
machine and it connects to the specified serial port.  It can log,
provide shared access to remote consoles, etc.  If there are multiple
machines running conserver(8), a master conserver(8) can be run to
connect to all the slave servers, providing a single point of access
to the entire cluster.

This is very handy for remote unattended FreeBSD servers.  It can send
serial break signals which is useful for breaking into DDB on hung machines.

As threatened on freebsd-ports: all startup scripts know about the two
options `start' and `stop' now (unless I have forgotten any). This allows
us to call the scripts from /etc/rc.shutdown with the correct option.

The (42 or so) ports that already DTRT before are unchanged.

A port for conserver.  conserver is the answer to serial consoles. :-)

There is a later version of conserver, but it requires a rather extensive
build environment and set of tools to build it.  This version works is
nice and stable though.
