I vaguely remember someone saying that because I can use Ctl-F3 to view another
shell window on my linux firewall, I could somehow use that to view that screen
from another computer.  My understanding was that it involved piping the output
out via a serial port to another computer.  But, this was all theory and no
details.

Well the time has come to try that out.  I have a Floppyfw box with no monitor
(a debian install, I think), and a nearby computer I want to view it with.  The
nearby computer is Win95 or Win98.  So, is this idea possible?  Where might I
find specifics?

thanks in advance,
