Re:[PLUG] A few terminals?

[Jeff Dean <jdean@ieee.org>]

I think what Tom is really after is multiple consoles on his PC, not
multiple copies of the single video output.  The whole KVM thing is
oriented at multiple hosts and a single console.

Tom - it sounds as if you're talking about having the equivalent of
X-terminals on your system.  There are some products like that which allow
sharing of a PC among more than one people, but I'd doubt you'll find one
for Linux at this point.
