+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+
+Access to the
+.Ar virtual consoles 
+are obtained through the device files
+tty01 - ttynn in /dev. 
+Each of these files correspond to a seperate
+virtual console.
+All virtual console devices can be open at once, but only one is 
+active at a time. The active virtual console "owns" the keyboard and
+display screen.
+.Pp
+Output to a virtual console that not currently is on the display is
+saved in a buffer that holds a "screenfull" (normally 25) lines.
+Any output written to 
+.Ar /dev/console 
+(the original console device) is echoed to /dev/tty01.
+.Pp
+To switch between the virtual consoles one uses the sequence 
+.Ar ALT+Fn
+, which means hold down ALT and press one of the function keys. The 
+virtual console with the same number as the function key is then
+selected as the current virtual console, and given exclusive use of
+the keyboard and display. This switch sequence can be changed via
+the keyboard mapping ioctl call (see keyboard.man)
+.Pp
+The number of virtual consoles is changeable in the system config 
+file, and need recompilation of the kernel to take any effect. The
+default is 12.
+
+The console allows entering values that are not physically
+present on the keyboard via a special keysequence.
+To use this facility press and hold down ALT,
+then enter a decimal number from 0-255 via the numerical keypad, then
+release ALT. The entered value is then used as the ASCII value for one
+character. This way it is possible to enter any ASCII value.
+
+The console understands a subset of the ANSI x3.64 character 
+sequences. For compatibility with the old pccons, the PC3 character
+sequences is also supported.
