 It's possible.  I'm actually using `cu' and it works fine wrt wrapping
but it requires hw flow control (it sets "-clocal" and "crtscts" 
explicitly) unfortunately, which is why it cannot be used for the
DECstation's REX console I/O (which uses DTR/DSR flow control due to
serial interface limitations on certain DEC hardware).  I'm going to
modify `cu' at one time but since I don't really work with REX that much
I'm just using `cat' for this purpose for now. 

 It's best to use `dmesg' (with "-s 32768" if necessary) if at all
possible to fetch logs anyway.
