NetBSD's wscons seems to fit in this scheme, OpenBSD has adopted it as
well (the most featured implementation is in NetBSD/i386).

It would be really nice to be able to play in the iscsi field. It seems
that work has been done in this area by Wasabi (not published in NetBSD,
iirc)
Very appealing goals, if only I were a decent coder...
