I can't think of : a case where that would be useful, but with x2x (in the Ports : collection) you can allow different people access to the same server. In 1990 I shared a Solbourne workstation with a friend. It had two graphics/I/O boards, which ment that you could have two independent video consoles on it at the same time. Worked a whole lot better than one would have expected given the relative primitive tehcnology of the time.
