Yes, this is possible, but it reacts *very* funkily with pcvt.  Which
brings up another point on my wish list.  It would really be nice if
you could have a serial console (maybe as "vt"0), and still use pcvt
for the console screens after 0.  Right now, pcvt gets totally
lobotomized if you try to use it at the same time as a serial console.
