This computer is not a server, and I don't have a serial console.
Also, this computer, like most computers these days, has no serial or parallel port, though there is a serial header on the motherboard.
Only possible connectivity I have is Ethernet, and possibly I could set up WiFi.
I have a land phone but no cell phone, at least not yet: behind the times.
