Actually I would expect it to use a different "pool", but this is not a 
subject I know more than a trifle about.

When I wrote, I hadn't yet learned that the problem that made me want to use 
Telnet was known, and a patch already submitted, but not yet included in an 
update available on the mirrors:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3339

IOW, current need is past, but I'd still like to know what's wrong and get it 
fixed for a possible next time.

Probably not well, something yet else to configure that I haven't needed to 
do in more than two decades, another cable to locate and connect, and likely 
for a one time only use. Or can serial connection be shared over existing 
ethernet?
