That would be one way to get the effect I want. Another way - the one that I'm pursuing now - is to hack on the serial line driver for the relevant console hardware to, loosely put, import SLIP into it. Instead of having two faces, a tty device face to the kernel and a driver face to the hardware, I'm planning on giving it three: a tty device and a network interface to the kernel and a driver face to the hardware. The userland schemes went out the window when I realized I really wanted both tty and network device to be usable pre-single-user. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
