access to console0 was supposed to be implemented for 2k3, strangely enough
I haven't tried it enough to say whether it is FULLY implemented. ie.
whether an alert visible on console0 shows when you subsequently connect via
TS.
W2K will definitely show info on console0 which cannot be accessed from a
TS. The limiting factor being that console0 cannot remotely control, nor be
remotely controlled by, another session.
