While a tty filter would do the job, it would do it in a manner like
telnetd, processing every character.  This would seem to me to be very
inefficient, if used on a large multiuser system.  Yes, I expect the
program I write to be heavily used as it was a favorite of ours on
TOPS-20.  I am still looking at several solutions outside the kernel and
will post the results of my investigations sometime next week.

Thanks again for your input,
