Using vidcontrol 80x30 (or your favourite variation thereof) and "options SC_HISTORY_SIZE=2048" will get you a long way. Now if syscons would just have a working destructive (vidcontrol -c destructive) then I'd be really happy. :) The cursor has a tendency to spontaneously become non-destructive when certain cons25 escape codes are sent. Things still missing: multiple cut'n'paste buffers, and a pop-up menu to remind me what's running on each of the 15 different vtys. Sometimes a faster "-r fast" would be nice, too. -- Signature withheld by request of author.
