Talking bios

I have a terminal port on my router.  It is a 9 pin serial.
Would this work with such a BIOS, or not?  It seems to me that there would
be no way for the BIOS to see the router at that point.

Hi
Well, strikes me that if you own any kind of terminal capable of
communicating at 9600 baud you could take advantage of this sort of access.
This includes
second computers, laptops, other notetakers, and whatever else you may have.
Perhaps it won't benefit everybody, but IMHO, a little access sure as hell
beats
the access we have now., and I'd say access such as this, if it ever was
implemented on a PC bios, would be a damn good start to something long
overdue.
