How do I set up another terminal on my Linux box. I need to demonstrate that linux can have two users using the same box at the same time. I have an old Unix type terminal with a Parallel port main connection and a serial printer port. Linux is installed on an old gateway box. What "special" software or what not do I need to accomplish this task. It stems from the Idea that you can switch between "screens" (I don't think I worded that right) while on a linux box and logon as a different user. Any help would be greatly appreciated and praised...

I don't know the exacts of what you're trying to do, or how exactly to do it, but check in kernel options under "Character Devices" for sections about consoles on serial and parallel ports.
