[ale] video over serial

[Stephen Turner]

hey i dont know what it would be called (if it even exists) so im asking
here :) i was curious, say we had the right cable to hook a computers
video out (like inverted serial) to a serial port, could it be displayed
on a laptop with the right app? is there such an app? it would make my
life sooooooo easy if i could plug a laptop into a computer and have an
instant screen :).. well almost instant, and yet portable! reason i ask i
have an old p1 laptop thats collecting dust, i want to use it for a series
of thin clients, stuff like ssh connections to other computers, as a
moniter, that sorta thing... is it possible ? all it would be doing is
taking data in from serial and displaying it in a window in linux, atleast
it sounds simple... my guess is for some reason its not possible,... could
someone shed some light on this?
