Hello... Is there any way to grab console output under DEC windows? I have DECnet running, and it keeps sending messages to the console in the middle of everything and messing up the color map.

Description

The third minor device provides an access path for console output
that does not disturb the graphics display. The caller can open
the device /dev/xcons. When this device is open, the graphics
driver redirects console device output to the input buffer of
this device. This mechanism disables console output on the
screen and saves the output for later display. This preserves the
graphic display integrity.
Input and output on the first and third minor devices are pro-
cessed by the standard line disciplines.
