Then where are you going to get system power?
You can't draw it from the monitor connection.
You can't draw it from the keyboard or the mouse.
You can't draw it from RS-232. I would think that a modern terminal emulator
would be a small box that:
- used USB for keyboard and/or mouse
- used VGA or HDMI output to a monitor for display
- supported true DTR/CTS handshaking
- open source hardware design and firmware
- 9V wall wart supply
- SD card for storage/printer capture
NO MORE WALL WARTS !!!!
