Agreed!  I get 9K+ cps with full-scrolling, 11K+ cps if I keep the test
to one line :-)  Amazing for a machine that has to shift+mask at least
16 bytes per character!!  (St mono).  This is an AdSpeed 16Mhz machine.

I keep trying to get a good remote login package, possibly with email
that will work with modm0dev (so i can get dial in and dial out devices
and signals).  However, signals still don't seem to work, and modm0dev
tends to be slow (but doesn't lock up like the built-in driver does
when sending to the port and running stty at once - at least I think that
is what does it!)  

Should I get MiNTOS?  Does MiNTOS include mail and such (elm?).  Is there
a good cron included?

Also, a friend of mine, running Linux, modified his login (or some other
utility) so that when the login shell was run, all IO was piped through
a small driver he wrote which echoed the IO to a spare Vconsole.  He
could then watch remote users trying to hack at his system on one of
his consoles, and even type commands at the users shell and such in case
the user needed help.  I'd like to do something like this, but I'm unsure
of where in the login stuff this should go.  Do I have to modify the 
binaries like he did, or can I just change the login shell to a binary
that does the piping and runs the shell?

Any help appreciated.
