As there have been very few concrete suggestions so far, let me
suggest "/dev/vts/<NUMBER>/*". Some arguments:
* It hasn't got much to do with the "system console" thing, except
that the system console, /dev/console, may well be redirected to
some terminal under /dev/vts/.
* "Virtual terminal" is a well established concept, and it seems to me
that what your server does is similar to the virtual terminals in
linux or bsd, only more powerful.
* The name is somewhat analogue to "/dev/pts/". That's why I suggest
"/dev/vts/" rather than "/dev/vt/".
I also have a question: Which processes are expected to look up these
names, and where in the system configuration the names are expected to
show up? getty and inittab have been mentioned already.
