Well, I originally thought about something like that, but to make it work
I'd have to code a driver for the dwhatever32, code support for the 6k3
series machines, then keep a 6320 machine running 24/7.  All that just for
a console?  Don't get me wrong-- it'd be k-rad kewl to do it, but it's a
little beyond my grasp at the moment.  :)  A terminal server is a whole
lot faster.  Not to mention pretty neat in it's own right (the Xyplexs'
seem to be nice machines).  And, anything that adds hardware isn't a bad
thing!
