Hmmm, mine just sleeps X minutes, then asks the terminal what type it is.
Go back to sleep, ad nauseum.  Has the advantage that the responce comes
from the terminal itself, then through the data lines, muxes, data switches,
and god knows what else, instead of the cpu just talking to itself.
I wrote this when our logout was 20 minutes, about the time it takes
to take a leak, get some coffee, and talk to the new blond in accounting.
