Here is an article about the fusion folk, more below the link plus a
question about the second variation on a mac:

"There are two main ways of doing desktop virtualization. One is to run
   multiple operating systems on one PC. Another is to have one or more
   operating systems running on a remote server, with the desktop
   tunneling in to those other operating systems. Technology such as
   Microsoft's Remote Display Protocol pipes keystrokes and mouse clicks
   to the server and a view of the screen back to the user."

Here is my question. I want to use terminal mode on the mac for many
things.  As I understand it vo use is crude at best.  Here is my thought.
The dos screen readers afford far superior speech functionallity.  Using a
network or phone dialup into a unix or lynix shell dos provides perfect
speech access because the speech is done at the local machine.

I want to use a mac and something like fusion to run dos in one vm to
access mac terminal mode in the primary system.  Does anyone see any
fundamental problems in this approach?  I have an external synth using a
serial port.  Can one use one of the usb to serial converters in this
capacity?  Can one by usb port to usb port connection using a
communications application on the dos side access terminal mode activity on
the mac side?

In dos days this was done on a regular basis when a unix system on a
network was used.  The dos machine acted as the local terminal on which
speech to access the unix machine was used.  The same is also possible
using a phone up isp connection to a unix or linux based net account. Could
one use a network with this setup in one machine?  Can one use wireless for
same?
