I'm not sure that everyone would like it, because a virtual console
switch takes now a few 10th's of a second during which the system
seems to be halted (at least the HD stops grinding).  I'm still
happy with it, since my keyboard doesn't lock up any more, but
people with no such problems may not appreciate the extra delay.  It
would help, however, to mention the `option ASYNCH' somewhere in the
docs.
