Because Chuckie enjoys kicking ant nests, he suggested that I point out that things for Linux get really interesting if there were to exist a virtual integrated ASCII (VT100) console such as is present on the real h/w. Traffic could move on such a path without requiring any ASCII-EBCDIC conversion. On the downside, no ability to issue #CP commands. On the upside, the ability to use vi before your virtual network connection is established. More problems: How to decide which virtual interface to use?
