Serial terminals have worked with Linux for a few years now. Heck, in the
1.x days I was running serial terminals under Linux, and even using modems
and VT100 emulators on PC's on the other end.....

I believe Linux will now run with a serial terminal.
NetBSD certainly
does.

Many thanks for this tagline to a fellow RGVAC'er...
Thirdly, is there any good reason why you
can't use a serial terminal
linked to an RS232 port any more? In which case the PC wouldn't need a
video card at all, unless it needs one to pass the POST (and you don't
know how to patch the bios to get round it).
This should work just fine. You just have to compile the kernel with the
necessary options.
