I have enough real terminals that I don't mind having a few "dumb" terminal boards with different features for different applications. I happen to already have a couple of IOB6120s for my SBC6120s, so I never really planned on mating a VT-* with mine, but I'll probably try it out to see it work. One plan I have is to run LCDproc with the curses driver - normally used for debugging clients or for throwing up a simple display in the corner of some other machine. In this case, I'd have a VGA display and VT-* board some distance away from the host (by serial cable or by short-haul fiber modems) as an easy-to-use remote status display. -ethan
