Yeah, but that's not what I mean (not the server thing). I just want
to route gdb CONSOLE I/O to the other computer so mine can hit GFX
mode - better than routing gdb to the printer as described in the FAQ,
no?

What I meant was, will it survive being totally rerouted to the com
port, or does it get keyboard input from IRQ9, which I presume it
hooks for Ctrl+Break - which I would have to push on the execution
machine, not the remote terminal!
