One tip I'll add here about my serial connections to my network devices- as much as possible, I change the baud rate to 38400. This gets rid of the clunky slowness at the (often) default rate of 9600. Makes it seem as fast as your average ssh or telnet session.

It also makes things a bit more confusing for the rogue individual who thinks they can just serial up to your device physically and see something. Not a real security measure, mind you, but more like a bump in the road.
