Hello all.

I have successfully connected a dummy terminal (serial computer terminal)
to a linux box via port ttyS1.

It works great but I have one request from my boss that I can not seem to
find a solution for.

I would like to have two or more programs running at the same time with
the ability to toggle back and forth on a tts based serial console.
Similar to mingetty's <alt-F1, alt-F2...> keystrokes to toggle between
other tty consoles.
Our goal is to have PINE and LYNX running at the same time without needing
to exit each app to get to the other.

I hope this is possible.

TIA all.
