If you wanted to be fancy (and don't need type ahead)  you could flush the 
stdin buffer, set term.c_iflag(?) &= ~ICANON, and 
term.c_cc[VTIME] = (# of tenths you wanted tyo wait), and
read from stdin (getchar())..  But only if you didn;t need the type ahead...
IF all else fails, follow plumbers rule #1:
If it dont fit, force it.  If it cbreaks(), it didn't belong there in the 
first place...
Or something like that...
