 Many **Generic x86 Boards and Appliances** provide a DB9-RS232 serial port for console access, and since modern PC's / Notebooks / Chromebooks do not have a serial port, a USB-to-Serial cable adapter must be used.  You probably already knew that.
-What is new is the ability to connect a second USB-to-Serial cable adapter, back-to-back, to a USB port on your AstLinux box and automatically spawn getty to establish a login.  This is particularly useful for **Generic x86 Boards and Appliances** that only have a VGA video console, or to establish one or more serial logins in addition to a serial console.  The USB TTY serial baudrate and terminal type can be specified independently from the system console configuration.
