Syslinux - Jul 2008 - SERIAL

I'm trying to get console redirection on two machines that I have and right
now I am only able to get them to work separately. The first machine will
allow console redirection with isolinux by putting SERIAL 0 9600 as the
first line in the isolinux.cfg file and the second machine will only work
with SERIAL 1 9600 as the first line in the isolinux.cfg file. Is there a
way that I can have both of these lines in the isolinux.cfg file so that I
only need one disk and be able to have console redirection on each computer?
I've tried setting it up like this:
 
SERIAL 0 9600
SERIAL 1 9600
 
as the first two lines but it still does not work. Any help would be
appreciated.
 
Thanks!

I am not familiar with The above config, but I am going to take a guess. 
Looks to me as those are two different com/serial ports. Can you go into 
the bios on those computers and change the serial port to match?

No, sorry; Syslinux only supports one serial port at the moment.
