Boy, are you running on the wrong OS. Our vendor is going to assist
us in re-programming the terminal controller so we can get decent
typeahead, NOBODY has had any other useful suggestions. It's 
worthwhile for us because we have lots of these things; otherwise
your choice is pretty much to suffer in silence.

Incomprehensible termio seems to be one of the techniques the gurus
use to keep those obnoxious users off their machines...
