Internal/Soekris

 Get a linux laptop with a serial port.  Connect the Soekris serial port to it using a crossover serial cable.  There are a lot of these, unused, floating around ORBIT.  They have "X OVER" written on them.
 
-Run minicom in a terminal window that can handle vt102 (any of them can).  Minicom should be set for 19200 baud, 8 databits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.  Turn hardware flow control off in minicom.  The UNIX device for talking to the console is almost certainly /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyUSB0.  Because the console baud may be set to 9600, you may need to try different values.
+Run minicom in a terminal window that can handle vt102 (any of them can).  The first time you start a console, minicom should be set for 19200 baud, 8 databits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.  Be sure to turn hardware and software flow control off in minicom.  The UNIX device for talking to the console is almost certainly /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyUSB0.  Usually when linux runs its console on a serial port, it goes at 9600 baud, so set the console baud to 9600 (see below) when you have the chance.
 
 Minicom and the Soekris console driver seem a little fragile.  If you do wind up dumping junk to the serial port (as will be the case if you run pppd carelessly), you may gum it up so badly that you need to reboot.

+In stable versions of voyage linux, you can use the commands

+remountrw
+remountro

 Now you can and should change the root password.
 
 Change /etc/rc2.d/S99voyage so that the commands that keep remounting / ro are disabled.

-You may also want to remove the rc link for rc2.d/S89watchdog, or set run_watchdog to 0 in init.d/watchdog.
 
 Note that things like /root are normally linked to /rw/root, which is a tmpfs.  It's all very cute, but you need to disable it at least for /root.  /root needs to hold a persistent .ssh directory.

 6. Change iptables, the routing table, and multi-homed interfaces in the landing so that packets for the remote ORBIT nodes are routed on the rest of the ORBIT network.
 
-7. Re-engineer voyage so it can be installed fifty times.
+7. Install and configure dhcp proxy on the host.
 
-8. Think about using a bigger CF card and making the net4801 a caching proxy for tftp.
+8. Try L2TP instead of SSH for tunneling.  We don't care about encryption, particularly.
