not able to output anything to /dev/ttyv8?

[Eric F Crist]

Along those same lines, I'd like to output iftop to ttyv0 (main console)
with login across serial and/or another tty.  I get rate limit errors of
some sort when I edit /etc/ttys.

What method should I use to ouput an application such as iftop to a tty?

TIA

Eric Crist
