<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">A long time back OpenStack had a remote text console service, in parallel<br>
with its VNC console console. This was later deleted because it was using<br>
insecure code from an unmaintained 3rd party project. Fairly frequently<br>
though people raise the issue of re-enabling remote text (ie serial)<br>
console access, as a low bandwidth alternative to a fully graphical<br>
console.<br>
<br>
I was wondering, given that SPICE is designed with many independant<br>
data channels, would it make sense to provide a way to add new channel<br>
type that could transport a text mode console ? eg SPICE would act as<br>
the backend for QEMU serial ports, as well as the graphical display.<br>
Clients could have a choice of opening the graphics related channels,<br>
the serial port channels, or both.<br>
<br>
NB I'm not saying I've time to work on this at all - I was just wondering<br>
if this was conceptually a reasonable feature to propose.<br>
<br>
