You seem to misunderstand the concept of terminal emulation..... a telnet connection just passes whatever it sees from one end to the other.. The terminal emulation is done byt whatever terminal (or PC) the user is working on, so that the emulation if you were working on a FreeBSD box would be being done on the console.. On the ttys it's done by whatever is on the end of the serial line the process running just uses the TERM environment veraible to know what sort of terminal is should be talking to.. now if you wanted to run some console screens as vt220 and others as syscons (SCO) screens that is a different (and unfortunalty not supported question) > > Just wondering... > > If I compile in both the syscons (sc0) and PCVT (vt0) drivers, is it > possible to have the syscons be the default driver for the ttys, and > pcvt be the default driver for the ttyp's?
