You know how when you're booting a node, you utter

   >RE

to reset it?  Then you have to press <RETURN>, then you get

Well, if that <RETURN> (right after the RE) comes from the serial port
rather than the display keyboard, then you have MD on the serial port!

The command 

    >SK  switches you back & forth (serial / display)
