Indeed!

Not that I've needed to yet, but if I've got
the computer (solaris/sparc) down in non-gui,
single-user mode, I can still run emacs -- thank god.

Of course, until Sun appeared, *all* of us who were
using emacs were using it on eg vt-100s -- at eg
1200 baud.  (then 2400, then 9600).

(Running on DEC 20's, under "twenex" os)

(That was when emacs was still written in teco).

I cannot imagine rms *ever* removing non-gui ability
from emacs.  Sure hope not!
