Can you expand on this? I am not sure how this is supposed to work out. So in my scenario I have a dumb terminal connected to one of the suggested devices. On the other side I have the out of band serial port controller for my RAID connected to a terminal server like the Avocent. The Avocent is presenting the RAID controller as a telnet session. Now how is hitting REIURN a few times on my dumb terminal going to bring up a telnet session much less a telnet session to the host I am interested in? Thanks.

Hitting return a few times on the terminal will get the attention of the device; e.g. Raspberry Pi, that it's connected to.

Depending on how said device is configured, you will either get a login prompt (e.g. getty+login) or a shell prompt (e.g. getty+shell).

Then you will tell said device to connect to the RAID array's telnet/serial gateway. Nominally, this could be as simple as `telnet <RAID-gateway-IP>`.

At least that's how I would configure things if I wanted to use a traditional (dumb) terminal to be able to connect to multiple remote devices. Talk to the serial /server/ and ask it to connect to the other device on your behalf.
