Using a Rasberry Pi (or any Linux host) as a Serial Console Server

Kind of feel like this is something I should've known years ago but only recently came across this after watching this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-bBr5WKuH0

Ultimately it turns out the 'screen' command can be used to turn anything Linux (including a Pi) into a Serial Console Server. Still working out how to use it to the best but are already thinking about turning a Pi into a wireless serial server that actually works well (you know the blue/white bluetooth powered ones I am on about!).

Either way for those on watching a 9 minute long YouTube video I've also made a short guide on my personal blog: https://myworldofit.net/?p=11093.
