[AusNOG] ethernet to serial

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

Yep, that's how I do it.  Works very well :)  Note: You want to put
monitoring on said RasPi, so you know if it goes down..  There's nothing
more irritating than rebooting a switch, and having it not come back up,
THEN finding out the Pi has locked up ;)

We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
