Me too.
Example: I use PC Weasel's on all my NetBSD machines. Instead of using
NetBSD with a serial console, I use wscons on the Weasel. I still get a
serial console but I also get virtual terminals on the console. The only
thing missing over a serial console is scroll-back.
So, I'd configure scroll-back in if it were there.
