It does for linux. That's what the "Switching from PDC Console" is about.
Connect the serial cable to the com port and look at the output.

I haven't tried it with the lasted ISO - no time to play w/712's now.

Paul just sent mail to the list indicating he's working on console issues.
Please let him work on it.
Trust me, he'll tell us when he's done. :^)
