[c-nsp] Reciprocal console connections for CPEs

Hi List,

We run a rather large private extranet and provide dual managed CPE devices
on-site.  I'm considering connecting the Aux port on CPE A to the Console
port on CPE B and the reverse in an effort to provide limited remote
console access the boxes without installing a dial-up line.

We'd obviously limit access to the aux tcp port on the router, but I was
wondering if there were any other gotcha's that I should be aware of.

Thanks,
                       --Duane
