What's left over. 700 1-port console server
Quoted 4 lines
Do you feel like donating a 700-port console server? Right, so it's LKCD for me then.
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?

That's plenty. The RX wire and the TX wire don't have to go to the same machine :-))
