Thanks Ken, for posting this program.

There is however one small problem in the program:
The file term.c defines int rd_pid, wr_pid; both in the beginning of the
file and in the beginning of main(). The latter declaration should not be
there otherwise cleanup will not work and one will never be able to
terminate the program.

Also one suggestion for speedup: 
The program startup would be much much faster if one uses ioctl calls to
change echo and raw, instead of using system & stty.
