Device driver? None of the access methods supporting start/stop lines
had support for specific terminals other than the default for the line
type. As far as BTAM, NCP and QTAM were concerned, a TTY's look grey
in the dark. If you wanted a NUL inserted, you need to either do it in
the MH or in the application.
Now, Unix might have provision for doing that as part of TERMINFO; I
haven't checked. But I doubt that a device driver would have the
necessary information to do it.
