  Instead of setting up interrupt keys, how about using a polling
technique combined with a timer interrupt.

  That is, setup an interrupt timer (using setitimer) with an interrupt
handler (using signal or sigvec) such that the interrupt handler 
will poll stdin (using select and fileno(stdin) to get a file descriptor of
stdin) to see if and charcters are out there?
