I use tip com1 to go out serial to serial of other server's redirected
console.
Just check /etc/remote and make sure you have a line as follows:
sio0|com1:dv=/dev/cuaa0:br#9600:pa=none:
But if you do serious console redirection, get a decent Terminal Server
to which you ssh to the Terminal Server and then use its own commands to
connect to your serial console(s).
