Yes!  I've got several guys that actually want to be able to use DEC 
keyboards on their PC's!  I taunted them at first, but some of these guys 
have really engrained the DEC numerical keypad into their brains.  I 
would LOVE to figure out how to make this work.

I'd rather be able to do it with syscons.  I *think* pcvt can do this but
I'm not quite sure and I haven't had time to wade through setting it up
yet to see.  

Sigh.
