This can hardly be an argument, because on serial consoles even the current full-screen implementation isn't friendly at all. One of the first things I always do is to disable beastie-start. As long as it is still based on ficl and can be disabled to get the traditional linemode I don't see a problem. -- B.Walter <bernd@bwct.de> http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.
