Back in my youth, I worked on a Microdata minicomputer. We used VT320
clone terminals, needed the emulation to map function keys to apps we
used.

I realized that these terminals had two serial ports and a key to toggle
between them. I could run a modem to one port, the computer to the
other, and use the toggle key as a "boss key" when I was connected to a
BBS. It worked until he noticed the lights on the modem blinking...
