	Yes I know ;)  But thats the whole point. You would not be
stuck writing hard coded routines for the console. Meaning if a Linux
user is using a serial console say running on a Heath Zenith H19
terminal, As long as he has written a good terminfo.... he is
ready to go. Terminfo Entries not our work ;) It also means that a
terminfo entry would be easier to change if the terminal doesn't work
quite right. Plus it provides a very BIG part of portability, and THAT
is a big plus on this project and meets the original projects
objective.
