While that might look as a perfect solution, it still runs into the already 
described problem : only (very) well behaved programs would keep 
functioning.  Any program which, for example, uses direct screen writes 
would cause problems (you would not see the output).

And don't even /think/ of switching to a graphical modus - and worse, using 
direct screen writes there. :-)

In short: Although its rather possible to emulate a terminal (like a VT100) 
on a PC, the other way around (using the PC as the "server") will be much 
harder.
