I believe that you should be able to.  You'd need to have null modem cables
attached between the terminals and the serial ports.  Likewise, you'd have
to turn on the getty for the com ports at the speed of the terminal.

I currently have a dumb terminal (wyse) attached to my SVR4 system in
this manner, and it works with very little problems (only one I really
run into is if I power up the terminal before powering up/booting my
DTK 80486-25 mhz machine, that has a serial card with two 16550AFN chips).

I'm going to pull off the SVR4 system probably next month, and replace it
on my DTK system with Linux.  All I'm waiting for is a reply about the
extended file structure being able to handle a file system of greater than
512 MB in size on an ESDI drive...
