That is cool - but requires a host OS that supports 2741 login so you can then telnet to Herc... does Linux have 2741 support? I have vague memories of tweaking ?termcap? to support something odd I once shoved into a serial port - but not 2741 odd! What would be considerably cooler is if you could dedicate a serial port to Herc - plug in the 2741; switch it on; get an IBM login prompt *directly*.
