Yes, well, i have to agree with the O.P.
Some applications do need a graphical interface,
But to use vmware on a rt-machine because the hardware is not supported
by linux.... Well, i don't know. Probably it is not possible to seperate
these functions into a seperate box..

For what i was using R.T.?
The OS was (a cloned) mtos, and was used for frequency analysis (dtmf
and dialtone recognition) for telefone exchanges, back in 85.
