Mark already has some code that him and I wrote for 'glueing' a wscons
rcons onto a flat mainbus framebuffer. The problem we see with it is
that the rcons in wscons is appaulingly slow, which is why changeover
has not yet happened. I heard there was rumor of a faster rcons
appearing, but I don't know whether or not this actually happened.

I normally use hjkl for moving around in vi, anyway. If you need real
terminal emulation, why not just use xterm?

Given vt100 works, but in a number of different ways vt220 doesn't, I
would personally be against a change to alter this behaviour.

The time should be spent trying to turn rcons into something that
doesn't run like a dog. That's, unfortunately, time that I don't have.

Does anyone here know if the rcons replacement actually made it?
