Hmmmm, I'm not sure if you can send posts with attachments to VMESA-L, so here are the two files needed via hyperlink:

Try dialing the virtual machine and you'll see the contents of the LOGMSG file, press ENTER or any ATTN key and your DIALed session will be dropped. Customize both the EXEC and LOGMSG as necessary, but it should work OK "right out of the box". Enjoy!

Writing to the terminal should be the least of your problems. The plumber's nightmare here is that you can't fullscr to a GRAF when it is not yet dialed into. There's nothing in the pipeline now that will help you to recognize that someone knocked on the door. And polling undialed devices does not match my desire for elegance. You could used an external command like WAKEUP ( IO but that prevents the pipeline from having an actual conversation with the other terminals dialed-in.
