Hmmm... As much as I love the sound of this, I'm not sure if
VMware works quite the way an ISP would want. From my limited
understanding, I believe you have to run VMware in X and start up
the vm's from there. An ISP would want it to be some sort of
daemon that starts up the vm's at boot time. Have you found a
way to set it up like that?
