>Description:

	The default terminal emulation when logging in on a text console
	is cons25.

	cons25 does not work on *any* of our non-FreeBSD boxes and seems
	incompatible with both vt100 and xterm, so it is causing all sorts
	of troubles in a heterogenous environment.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Console login on a FreeBSD box.  Remote login on a Solaris/Linux/
	whatever box.  Invoke a full screen program.  Good luck! :-(

>Fix:

	Why can't FreeBSD use vt100, xterm, or some other sensible *and*
	common terminal emulation by default?
