Where are the default special characters set for tty-type defices?
Does each driver define its own, or is there a default somewhere?
Does that hold for pseudo-ttys, as well (telnet)?

There seems to have been a change in this.  The .login file for
root on 2.0-950322-SNAP still changes "erase" to ^H, but the
syscons driver now comes up generating DEL when the backspace
key is pressed...

I have poked around for this information, and never found it
in the FAQ's nor in a casual search through the code, so if
someone could give me a nudge to get off of center (though
no speculation, please :-), it would be appreciated...
