Well, here's a suggestion, although it is not by far the solution you are 
looking for. What you could do is wire the two modem ports together with 
a nullmodem cable. Then buy a copy of GNO, and install it on both 
machines. Then you could log into the second GS from the shell on the 
first one. This would let you run multiple multitasking programs at once. :)

What the heck, do a little programming, and maybe you could get 2 
desktops on a SVGA monitor with a second site card! :) And if you get 
this working, let us know how! (PS: Jawaid, THERE is an interesting idea! :)
