Hi!

I'm having fun with FreeBSD+WaveLAN on my cute little IBM 240.  It even runs
X, albeit slowly.

But, as small as the screen is, I think I'd just as soon stick with the
console for most things, and run screen.  Unfortunately, the console leaves
well over an inch of LCD on each side, making the font smaller and less fun to
squint at than it should be.

I looked through LINT, but have no clue if I can coax the text console in to
eating up the entire LCD.  Has anyone a good experience here and can point me
in the right direction?

Anyone get audio working?  I tried Steve O'Hara's ESS patch to get the sound
card in to SoundBlaster mode, but I get no love, except now the microphone
feeds back in to the speaker.  Whee!
