Message-ID: <CKB7KC.49H.3@cs.cmu.edu> Sender: news@cs.cmu.edu (Usenet News System) Nntp-Posting-Host: snow.fox.cs.cmu.edu Organization: Carnegie Mellon University References: <CK9BDx.4nB@rucs2.sunlab.cs.runet.edu> Date: Thu, 27 Jan 1994 22:24:12 GMT Lines: 5 Syscons gives you the ability to switch between different sessions on your console. Another advantage over pccons is that it works with X11 (I couldn't get pccons to work properly with XFree86 (2.0) and FreeBSD (1.0 release), so I gave up).
