It allows the use of multiple graphic cards, keyboards etc and I guess would allow what you are looking for.

Jay, Thanks. A couple of additional comments/questions below. - Mark
Certainly. You can run multiple copies of X, or multiple xdm's,
on separate
virtual consoles, and use Ctrl-Atl-7, Ctrl-Alt-8, etc, to switch between
them.
As I had thought and hoped, but wasn't sure. Thanks!
If User 1 runs on DISPLAY=localhost:0 and User 2 runs on DISPLAY=localhost:1
(or however that would really be described, based I guess on the graphics
hardware I choose) then would they be able to <Alt><Ctrl>F7 to each other's
displays? I hope not, and I would presume that normal Linux permissions
would prohibit that. (Unless possibly User 1 == User 2)

Um, where were you planning to plug in a second keyboard? :-)
I was thinking PS/2 for the primary keyboard and mouse, and then USB for the
secondary keyboard and mouse. I'm guessing that it would be *fairly* easy to
keep the two straight that way. Duplicate USB devices sounds dangerous to
me. Maybe there's some sort of keyboard/mouse to Ethernet adapter for this
sort of remote application?
FYI - It's probably understood, but keyboard/mouse A must always be
associated with monitor A. Not much good to be in one room typing things on
the other monitor. ;-)
Look into DOSVNC and a spare 386.
No, we do that already. This is a more specialized situation in an area where I have absolutely zero background. (I'm just an end-user type.)
Thanks very much!
