yep.  pretty much.  i don't think i've heard of this one before.  none of
the terminal types work?  not vt100, vt220, or even something like
console?  (i think that's one of them)....

is this a french keyboard?  not that it should make a difference if you're
actually seeing the word 'vt220' on the screen, but some people have had
keymapping problems (since we don't quite support non-US keyboard layouts
on the console quite yet).

later.
