Uhm, I have another idea:
I looks to me like the number one reason folks run pcvt is that it
does a pretty good job at vt220 emulation. I have a version of syscons
that loads its term interpreter as a LKM and so it can be changed to
some other emulation. If would could get a volounter to take pcvt's
vt220 emu and massage it a bit, I'll help with the syscons interface
and what extra hooks might be nessesary.
This would put us on the right track to the "great unified console
driver"..
Oh well, enough dreaming for today....
