Unless you have a special need that the vt console doesn't support, why not use it? Then you have a real vt100 console for both when you're dialing up and otherwise. Just recompile your kernel with the vt driver, and set the relevant termtypes to vt100 in /etc/ttys. IMHO, the vt console is much nicer than the SCO syscons driver. Not only is it a vt100 so you can do nice things like the above, but it's also in colour so manpages look extra-spiffy :-) Evan
