yes - i know - it's VERY flaky though - but the kill -HUP 1
never does the trick - sometimes i have to reboot 2 or 3 times
for the vt100 to kick in.  and then hours later, i can't "cu" the
vt100 terminal again for unknown reasons.  i checked the faq, handbook,
and maillist archives - but didn't see any mention of "cu" and
terminal emulation.  also - the tty entry is a little bogus, i should
be able to enter "none" instead of "none network", but i get some
getty error saying it can't find "none" otherwise ...
