At least to avoid misunderstandings due to wrong terminology.
"We UNIX guys" are usually smart enough to know what "DOS
mode" refers to, but without correction such a behaviour
(accepting it without mentioning that it's plain wrong)
will stengthen the belief that there's a "DOS mode" in
FreeBSD, or that every text mode interface is called "DOS
mode".

"When I switched on my modem, it only resets in TSO mode.
I want CDE mode, what should I do?" :-)

Depending on what environment some user comes from, the
terminology chosen may vary. Some words are more advanced
than others, but still wrong.

I agree, FreeBSD's excellent documentation gives a very good
step-by-step introduction about how to solve this particula
problem (and others, too). It isn't that hard to find.

I'm glad it's not.
