Check out the "Terminal/Mailbox Interaction" section of part I of
the I/O User's Reference manual. When you associate a mailbox with
a terminal, the message type is included in the mailbox message.

This interface is pretty sexy; by changing the NOBRDCST and BRDCSTMBX
terminal characteristics, you can control if the broadcast goes to
the terminal and/or the broadcast mailbox.
