like VMS or RSX. That means my console terminal would have to connect to a

If I'm understanding you correctly, that doesn't seem to be the case with my
DECServer 90M that I have.
I have MISER, THRIFTY (a linux box), and used to have FRUGAL's (when it was a physical
VAX and not SIMH) consoles connected to the DECServer. Created services on the DECServer
that allow me to connect to the console of any host from any other host. I have a VT525
attached to the terminal server and do not have to log in to a host first if I want a
console. I have multisessions enabled, and use an "un-named" session on the
terminal, and just connect to say "miser_con" service and BOOM there I am on
MISER's console. You can even password protect services if you wish.
Is this what you are trying/wanting to do? ... or did I just bark up the wrong tree?
