That might work depending on the use case, or worse than before. With
the same terminal multiplexer connected on both, you'll see on both what
happens in the terminal multiplexer. But if the goal is to write from
the outside, writing to tty9 not only will not be reflected in the
xterm, but it will also have line feeds broken.

Once again, we need to know the precise purpose.
