Ahhhh. I have an idea why that is, I'll bet the curses non-raw-mode
interface doesn't give me the option of doing what I thought it did (I
never tested ^Z). 
 
If you get it working for stty before I fix it (won't be for a while), let
me know what you used, and I can modify slib/vio.c/VidOpen() to make the
same calls that stty would (via POSIX termios functions on the controlling
pty).
 
As for sysrq and control break -- those aren't actually UNIX keys. I have
no clue what "key code" they'll return on your box (if any). Some
experimentation may be in order, but I'm no curses/termcap wizard, so that
will wait for a very long time (just like "real" function keys --
I've fudge them as ESC-1, ESC-2, etc.. horrible... but workable)
