You can hook up a null modem cable to the first serial port of the RaQ and
connect the other end to the serial port of your PC/notebook.

Grab any terminal emulator that can talk to serial devices like
HyperTerminal or Minicom.

The settings are 115200, 8-N-1.

This is generally recommended when there's no other way to access your RaQ
and you need to find out what's wrong with it (you get normal bootup
messages and the login prompt, the tty is redirected to the serial port)
