Yes. You can tell syslog to display messages on the console. This is normaly
done for messages of a certain priority. In my /etc/syslog.conf, there is:
# Emergencies are sent to everybody logged in.
#
*.emerg *
Maybe there is something similar in yours.
Most programms have a key to restore the screen in such case (e.g a
talkrequest is a similar case).
In pine/pico this is CTRL-L.
