Is it possible to hook up a dumb terminal to an Apollo and run a shell in it?
I am not talking about hooking Macs and PC's to the network.  We have lots of
users wanting machines and a limited number of machines.  I unlike probably
anyone else who uses the Apollo would prefer good 'ol EMACS running on some
kind of terminal to the display manager as it stands now.  The only
reservation I have in saying that is that alot of the software(like the
debugger) loses a lot of its functionality without the dm.  I do not mean to
start a war about the display manager, I just wanted to explain my motivation
for asking.
