  Simplest solution I have come across is to just type "echo ^[c" - actually
push the escape key. You likely can't read it, but that should reset the
console.device. I just looked that up in the RKM, but I originally just took
a look at the printer codes in the back of my 2000 manual.

  BTW: First posting from me - I just got my AmigaUUCP with the Usenet stuff.
Very nice. Thank you Dan, William, et al.
