You already have 700 1-port console servers.
Plug each machine into it's neighbor with a null modem.
Teach mgetty to do something useful with serial dumps.

And how, praytell, am I supposed to do that when most of my cluster nodes
only have one (1) serial port? Buy 700 serial cards, or a half-ton of USB
serial port dongles?
