    Having X terminal manufacturers (those silly enough to have serial ports)

It is not at all silly to have a serial port on an X terminal.  I certainly
want to be able to sit at home with my X terminal, using the machines at
the office, and still be able to print files on the printer sitting next
to my X terminal, which is connected to the serial port.  I just don't
want to use an X extension to print it.
