chvt utility and device node symlinks

[Clint Thomas]

Do you have a link to "screen", as it seems to be a nightmare to
google-search for. I have been trying picocom, but it does not seem to
be talking to the device, and it does not look like there is a mailing
list for it. Also, Bernhard mentioned IIRC, do you know anything about
that?

i think you're looking for something like minicom.  i thought i
remembered a smaller replacement for minicom, but i can't seem to find
it right now.

"screen" also seems to have a mode where you can open a window to an
outgoing tty, though i've never tried it.
