I am able to access the ts-7500 remotely without any problems.  For our 
application I just needed hard wired backup if their is a network malfunction 
of some sort for debugging purposes.  For logging in remotely i have been just 
using ssh and i get a command prompt which suits our needs. 

The situation i am trying to prepare for is if the end user is out in the 
middle of nowhere with this and is unable to communicate wirelessly with the 
board.  I can then walk them through the steps of connecting directly to the 
board via a wired serial connection to get a command prompt to go through the 
application error logs, or linux logs.

Thanks for the information on xuartctl.
