I'd be (cautiously) in favour of TCL (or Elk or Scheme) if it gains us all
the modem parameterization we've been talking about...  But it's likely
to be a rather radical change to the internals.

Incidentally, I'm out of the active development loop for the moment because
I'm trying to reinstall all of my system configuration onto my new
RS/6000 220.  mgetty is one of the next couple of things, so we should get
all of the AIX problems swatted shortly...  Especially the "device in use"
ones ;-)
