Thanks for the many responses.  To summarize, No, you can't access the 
console through ttya (unless you are on an E250).   If the machine 
freaks while the network is down you can either  use a crossover cable 
or the console port on the rscs card itself (if it has one).  Looks like 
I may be changing my opinion of the RSC port as it has one feature that 
makes it worthwhile...you can power on the machine with it.
