Unfortunately there's nothing in CP to connect to a virtual machine's
ASCII console.  In the environments where the support is being asked for,
the only allowed interaction with Linux while its security system is
inactive is via the console.

But perhaps there are other remote console configurations (e.g. wasn't
there a CTC console driver at one time?) that would be permitted, given
that the preferred option isn't possible right now.  It's a balance of
risk vs. cost.
