Yes, I'm back.  I think that I figured out my PCVT problem.  It's my guess
that it is related to the fact that, after I have compiled the kernel for 
PCVT instead of the SCO console (which is sc0 versus vt0) and reboot my 
machine, I see a little error message go floating by that says something 
to the effect of it can't find vt0 or doesn't know what it is.  That 
seems to be a wee bit of a problem as the entire darn console 
configuration revolves around it.  Well, maybe not that severe.  But, 
after that, it all goes downhill with errors like can't find 
/usr/.../mountdtab or something like that a few other errors.  I can 
login ok, and for the most part can move around and all, but it isn't 
perfect.  The reason I want to use PCVT instead of SCO console is because 
I am dealing with an assortment of UN*X flavors which I need to connect 
to, etc.  With the SCO emulation, I get little bits of garbage when I try 
to communicated with other machines (little binary fragments is what it 
looks like).  If anybody can help me with this, I would appreciate it as 
it is well over my head, I think (maybe not, but I kind of doubt it).

Thanks for your time and help!
