I run a public-access system, and always like to keep an eye on the system
log. The machine has a VGA (which spends all of its time in text mode so as
not to bog down the dial-ins), and I have an old Hercules mono card handy.
Would it be possible to set up a mono monitor to receive log messages, so
that I can use the VGA console for other work and glance over occasionally
as log messages appear? I'm sure that this is possible, but I'm not sure
that the code is in place to do it.
