I got a syntax error on this email Peter, didn't you mean to write:

"Great work Ed, let me send you some patches"

non-console tty driver.

If FreeBSD should have digi(4) support in the future somebody should
spend some quality with the driver, instead of stopping Ed from
making much necessary progress.
