Since an OPA0: doesn't have modem controls, is that still a big problem
?

The goal isn't to have multiple people writing to OPA0: at the same
time. That would indeed cause gibberish.
The goal is more to log the output opf OPA0: to two different ports and
possibly have one of those ports send data out at a time.

Would that still fail ?

Yeah, I guess. However a terminal server wouldn't let me have 2
applications access the same port at the same time.

And I would have to find a decserver that is UP without any help of a
boot node. Consider after a total shutdown, if I wish to access the >>>
prompt before booting, without a working decserver, I couldn't...

But you are right, a decserver is probably still the most elegant
solution.
