Has anyone thought about simulating/emulating one of the old DECserver LAT 
terminal servers ?  I half expected that with MAME/MESS already having 68000 
CPU emulation, this might not be beyond the realms of possibility, and might be 
implementable on a BeagleBone or a "plug" computer with USB-to-RS232 ports 
added as needed.
