I've been looking at the little typeahead frob posted by u-jleigh
recently.  It WON'T work as is with Kermit-65, as was previously
alleged, but it can easily be hacked to make it work.  However, there
are two ways to go here:  either load it external to kermit, as the
posted version requires, or build it into kermit, and have kermit turn
it on at init time, and off at exit time (or maybe make it switchable or
something).  However, since it hacks on interrupt vectors, it'd be nice
if the embedded version could detect the presence of the separately
loaded version, and not preempt it.

So, the questions before the house are: 1) Would the listening audience
like to see this feature added to kermit, and 2) is there any good place
in OS ram for storing facts like "The typeahead handler is already
in place, dummy!"?
