Dumb terminals are perfect as serial consoles.  It’s like they were designed for it.  :)

I have a Lear Seigler ADM3A in excellent condition that I pull out to use as a console some
times.  Cool pieces of history.

Yeah I know I can't do much with a dumb terminal, but just for vintage nostalgia sake, I figure it would be cool to try it out as the "console" device.
