That came down to developer time and it appeared that I was the only
person interested in it.

See kern/158086 (which updates digi(4)) and kern/152254 (which re-
implements TTY functionality that was lost with TTYng).  Both include
patches that should work on either 8.x or -current.  Of the two, the
latter is more urgent because it impacts the KBI.

I've only got access to PCI Xem cards that are used for serial console

and dial-in support.
