Very Computer

Is it possible to setup a virtual console on one machine that is really a
telnet session to another machine such that if I press say F5 I can get a
login prompt for my remote pc? I appreciate pointers to HOWTOs or other
information.

Run an mgetty on some port - See the Serial-HOWTO.

Although not the right way to do it, you could set up an account on the
first machine that, thru a shell script at startup, automatically logs
in to the remote machine. This would look pretty close to the same to
the user - you press alt+f5, and see a login. You login. It
automatically does a rlogin and it types in the username and password,
as long as you use the account you made for that.
