These days you'd be much more likely to have another computer or laptop with an ethernet connector available than a serial terminal or cable with the right-sized, right-gender ends. If you don't have a hub, use a crossover ethernet cable to connect and use ssh. Or get wireless working and forget about all that nonsense.
Can you use that sort of thing, though, for when debuggers would have been providing information out the serial port? Or when you'd have been using a serial console managing bootup?
