Gotcha. I know about VNC, but I would want to share the console with many
people at the same time. VNC can't do this. Also, VNC sends the bits of the
desktop _video_ where I only need to share the data _streams_ in the console
(like telnet) text window. Sharing at the streams level would be much better
bandwidth wise.
