Oh, yuk. There's also a file /etc/securetty (no final 's') which is
actually the one that I meant. I think you probably need to modify
both
 /etc/securetty
 /etc/securettys

The documenting email I sent is in docs/Console-HOWTO --- I'll be sure
to update that file.

So you can connect via telnet: all smooth. Then reconnect to teh same
session with xencons: slow and choppy. 

If the above describes the situation then edit xencons and replace:
 'data = sock.recv(1)'  with   'data = sock.recv(1024)'
 'data = os.read(0,1)'  with   'data = os.read(0,1024)'

Let me know how it goes -- if it helps then I'll update the
repository.
