Exactly. The boxes run to an axis box or something
similar. And it appears that they are serial but it
runs over network cable... The terminals do seem to
think they are still logged in, but the server also
appears to think the terminal is in as well. We can
view the pts right from the server and all attached
processes. But do you know of anyway to disconnect by
pts? We've already killed all processes attached to
the pts, though...
