For security (and sanity) reasions, we need to keep a log of console terminal
activity; esp. error messages displayed.  We want to have a printer or "sync'd"
file keep a copy of what goes on.  Unfortuately, the i386 PC based UNIX system
seems to by-pass the standard UNIX I/O for the console and use very low level
BIOS style I/O to the video of the PC.  We can't get at the informtion.

Any suggestions?
