    Hello!
    I have Multia with broken keyboard port and ARC console.
    I'd like to install there Linux for small router/firewall, but looks like
    it's enough problem for me now.
    So I have some questions:
    1. Is there any way to control ARC console using serial port? I did some
    searches in Google, but looks like it's impossible. I'll be glad if I'm
    wrong. ;)
    2. If answer for 1st question is 'no' then how can I switch from ARC to SRM
    (without keyboard, of course :) ?..
    3. And if 2nd is impossible too, then how can I reprogram Multia's bios
    using external tool for using SRM?
