And Alpha (when using the TGA cards) and Mac68k.

For the Macs, you can use the dt package to basically emulate the 
multiple virt terminal effect (although it won't let you have some 
sesions at console and others at X that I know of). Speaking of, has 
anyone ever used it on macppc? The description has always had macppc 
in parentheses. My 3400 died & I don't see the 7200 being supported 
anytime soon (it does have YDL and OS9.1 on it), so I can't test.
