Re: need terminfo for serial console?

[Christoph Plattner]

This is my opinion, too !!

If we really add here an extension, then my favourite is a
`stty' command (common for all TTY including virtual VGA/keyboard)
with (of course) a reduced functionality.

But, again, may be it is an overhead (or better overkill) at all ...

With friendly regards
