Unless I am misunderstanding Niels here, this describes what I've done
with console-ncurses previously. I've had multiple simultaneous
attachments local _and_ remote. Has this changed somehow?
That is:
login on console of x
console-ncurses /dev/vts
go to another machine
ssh to x
console-ncurses /dev/vts
Now I have exactly the same sessions as locally, is this what Niels
means?
