			^^^ Ahh, guys, the ed driver is a isa driver.  Confer
with the man page [man 4 ed]  You should use the rl driver [rl0 in this case]

	1. Don't forget to read (really read on a long xterm) LINT
	2. man -k/apropos will help you find more on the driver.
	3. man [section]/-a will bring up the page(s)
	4. the RealTek card is pretty low budget (I know, I own three)
