   It simulates the screen of a dumb terminal, aka a console.   
      
   The 'con' device is the combination of keyboard and screen under DOS, or   
   keyboard and console window under Windows.   
      
   A dumb terminal is an input and output device, so the keyboard and   
   screen combine to make a virtual single device that does the same job.
