This was covered under the earlier information about graphics workstations.
However, suffice it to say that while you are working on the local head of 
your I2 MaxImpact workstation, you can display the console terminal in an 
x-window on your screen, or you can hook a serial terminal up to the box and 
have it separately.  My Onyx is set up with a console (vt220) and a head as 
well (GDM20D11 & Keyboard/mouse).

Consoles are text displays.
do you want your graphical workstation to write system messages across your 
root x-window's background image? what font would it use? what if anoter 
window was covering it? or would you rather that the text just appeared 
floating in the middle of your workspace?
