That is cool - but requires a host OS that supports 2741 login so you

memories of tweaking ?termcap? to support something odd I once shoved
into a serial port - but not 2741 odd!
What would be considerably cooler is if you could dedicate a serial
port to Herc - plug in the 2741; switch it on; get an IBM login prompt
*directly*.

Hercules now has support for 2741 via Telnet What other OSes might have native 2741 support
built in, anyone know?
I would expect that IBM mainframe OS's would support it
(especially older
ones). The issue there would be getting the 2741 connected up.
