> What about virtual consoles like Linux has?

Get the dt utility. It gives you many screens to swap between.

The difference between it and VC's is that you log on to the console
once and then run dt. Thus each screen is "you." In Linux, you get
all these screens in which you have to log in. Someone was working on
a patch to give the Linux behavior (though I'm quite happy with the
standard behavior).

Don't forget to MAKEDEV ptyq or some such in /dev if you want more
than 4 screens. NB the  ^^^^ part is from memory and might be wrong. But
you definitely need to make more pty's if you want >4 screens. The
MAKEDEV script will say what to do.

Take care,

Bill
