I set up an old Apple IIc as a terminal for my Mac mini; you can read the full details of the project in this post. The basic steps involved are as follows:

Ideally one should configure getty to run via ttys, yet something (USB controller?) hangs on the two different Mac Minis I've tried this on, mucking things up. However, a benifit of using screen is the ability to cut-and-paste between machines.

[robg adds: Definitely not your normal OS X hint, and there are obviously many easier solutions. Still, putting an old Apple ][ to work like this is pretty cool.]
