I don't think so. A while back, somebody asked and I said I was going to try
hacking it at some point. I haven't done so yet. From what I can deduce so
far it's going to be a question of removing the "line-discipline" type code
from FAS and hooking it in as a Hardware Driver only with streams connections
to the ldterm module. I'm still waiting for my nice manual set. If I get a
chance you may hear more after Xmas !
