Description ambrisko 2000-07-10 22:50:00 UTC 

Fix: This patch comes from Joerg Wunsch (joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de)
with some fixes/enhancements and testing by myself.  It exits
libdialog, spawns the shell as needed.  When the shell is exited
it then re-starts libdialog and continues.  It gets tricky due to the
forked shell.
How-To-Repeat: Try to use FixIt floppy from a serial port.  It will say switch to vtyx
which it can't do.
