I do computer support here at the U of Wisconsin.I have a laptop running

networking problems, whatever, I want to take my laptop to their office and
connect to a serial port via a null-modem cable. All I usually need to do is
shut it down or restart networking. I know I could probably run minicom but
is there something simpler to use? Maybe something that works at the command
line like ssh?
