flashing over serial port

[drewmerc]

Flashing the 5101 is in fact possible over serial, for serial is just another port of telnet, what you can do in telnet, can be done through serial, and when I did this, it was flash bootloader through blackcat, then use bootloader to tftp the desired firmware.. through serial. Not dissing the tut here, but those rather incorrect statement's to the contrary

We did'nt all disappear..

the point of saying you cant flash over serial is because you cant do it with just a ttl cable as you can with other modems, what the point of just flashing the bootloader when its easier to flash the whole firm, than fuck about switching cables (bar debricking)
