With the inclusion of the usb_serial_support kernel driver we can put the livebox to some other uses.

Termnetd. A Serial over LAN daemon - http://www.acmesystems.it/?id=69

• Original source termnetd_3-3.tgz
• Adjusted source and Makefile for cross compilation termnetd-mips.tgz
• MIPS compiled binary - termnetd

There are several hurdles to overcome if /dev/ttyS0 is to be used

• A login process started by init and the /etc/inittab is ran against this device
• syslog is redirected to /dev/console

Attempts at disable the login process have so far failed. Perhaps it will require the modification of the filesystem and re-flashing to remove this functionality. As an alternative investigate whether the USB port could support a serial device.

The original source code will only accept devices that are located in the /dev directory. As this is a read-only filesystem a small modification to the LEXical scanner that processes the termnetd.conf file is needed so that ttyUSB0 from /tmp can be utilised. Until the filesystem can be altered
