That is correct. I have already accomplished my goal (it works right now
~ in production on 105 diskless stations), I'm simply offering to
contribute my hacks back to the busybox community in case someone else
might find this useful. I agree that the terminology is odd, but I
didn't name it ;-) my vt100 docs refer to this as "pass through
printing", "echo to printer", "printer logging on". So in a nutshell,
I'm asking if anyone else finds it helpful or if it's bloat. I picked
busybox for its low overhead, and I know you guys want to avoid feature
creep.
