Speed?  9600 baud is rather slow nowadays.

Also recent versions of vxWorks 6.x support running multiple target shells at 
the same time, but I should warn anyone who tries this that the EPICS shell 
commands were not written to expect that to be possible, and may have major 
issues with deadlocks or unprotected accesses.  I believe the IOC shell is 
reentrant, but I'm not sure if it's thread-safe.

In general therefore I agree with Ralph that using serial consoles is still 
probably a better solution.
