The pcvt console driver (vt0) is designed to emulate a DEC VT series tty as best as possible. Thus it's perhaps preferable for people who are frequently logging into other machines across the net. The default syscons (sc0) driver features the SCO console, thus it requires a tweaked termcap entry that might not be available on every other machine in the world. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
