The 25-pin interface is wired so that the console uses the standard pins (2,3 and 7). Of course you can use the LAN console functions provided with the MP card. In some cases only the MP serial interface will be accessible and usable. The MP card is otherwise useful also. E.g. if the machine crashes, you'll be able to check the logs for what has happened or if the machine is completely jammed, you can reset it remotely. That's what I said (or tried to say). Also, I know what a MP card is, I use it almost on a daily basis... - MG
