As explained on the Livingston web site, I configured an old PM2e as a
"global console". I created users who are automagically connected to the
right ports etc... But I've a problem. On S0 is connected a VT100.
When I log via the VT100 console with a user X, the connection is opened
to the port X but... I cannot close the connection!!!! CTRL-] are passed
thru the port!!!! Any idea????
TIA!
