Yes, it does, sort of - there is an odd problem with the output (see later).

Yes. And there are other ways of solving this - but I want to give this one
a thourough go first.
The only problem is that if I run bash at the pty end, then I get
staircasing of the output:
[colin@server dir]
[colin@server dir]
even though 'opost' and 'onlcr' set for stty. If, instead of bash, I run
'telnet localhost' at the other end, although the banner is staircased,
everything subsequently is aligned correctly. It looks like a bug in the
pty driver (when I run there is an additional layer of output processing
where NL->NLCR). I guess I need to try it on more recent kernel.
