Serial port support for VMs

It's not clear to what you are referring. Here is the kvm(1) man page:

You need to read the source, it is possible to set the telnet option for any qemu-char device.

If you say so, I believe you. The KVM source is quite beyond my understanding.

Missing context: where is the config file to which I would add the code "serial0: socket"?

If your VM ID is 101, then it would be /etc/pve/qemu-server/101.conf .

Naturally your VM needs to be powered off before hand-changes to this file will take effect.

As a console solution, that might be good for many people. (Although I don't think SPICE options on Mac are very good, though I have never had occasion to try.)

SPICE on Mac haven't yet worked for me ;( ;(
