Has anyone managed to make the vt100 emulation (/usr/bin/async_main) work without the ua? The manual seems to indicate this is as simple as: async_main r path_to_profile:A2 f /dev/tty000 Unfortunately, this seems to block on the open of /dev/tty000 and is uninteruptible (well, hop over to another window and kill -9 it..., but..). Some detective work (replacing /usr/bin/async_main with a program that prints it argc and it's arguments) shows that the ua invokes the thing as: async_main r path_to_profile:A2 f /dev/tty000 p 123 i 6 This form is documented (somewhat), but writing a program to do this invocation after opening the device (with O_NDELAY set) results in an immediate message "The line has disconnected" (meaning no carrier was found, which is true). Argh!!! Has anyone encountered and solved this?
