Hmm.. We have some Dell PowerEdge 1550s that do this (nice machines,
but horribleb bootstones).  But I've got a basic problem with console
redirection on PCs that we don't see on Alphas or Suns.

The problem is that I cannot figure out how in the hell to hit "F2" in
my environment.  My environment is essentially telnet'ing into a
console server from an xterm.  Hitting "Ctrl-A" for the scsi bios
works just fine & dandy..

Anybody know how to make ansi function keys work from an xterm?

Thanks,

Drew
