Actually this works for me, as it would keep me from pegging a single 
core.  I could have a *LOT* of fun with this. :-)  Though the other 
issue would be how it  (and what I'd be running) would handle sharing 
the NIC.  I am crazy enough I'd love to have TOPS-20, OpenVMS, 
RSX-11M+, and RSTS/E all running on the same system under emulators 
running on Linux on separate VM's. :-)
