I`ve recently installed Mike Ditto`s keyfix and nkbd.  My Shift-ctrl-6 works!!
This allows you to generate most any of the 255 ascii characters from your
unixpc console.

I got these from manta.pha.pa.us, who allows anonymous UUCP.
This line goes in your /usr/lib/uucp/L.sys or /usr/lib/uucp/Systems file:
manta Any ACU 1200 12156625301 "" \d in:--in: uupub assword: UUsnarf
$ uucp manta!/usr/spool/pub/index /usr/spool/uucppublic/mantaindex

Mike made reference to possible future enhancements...  What would it take
to switch the functions of the left ctrl and caps-lock keys?  I.E. to make
the 'Caps Lock' key function as the Meta key and the left ctrl key function
as the control key...
