Of which there is only one, which is available to userland processes, and which is suitable for all cases where virtual terminals are needed. Implementing an SSH server? Use that. Implementing a GUI terminal emulator? Use that. Implementing a remote terminal server for some other network/comms protocol? Use that. Implementing a screen scraper to get info out of some legacy proprietary app? Use that.

Is FTDRIVER the same? If yes, then I take everything back, except to wonder why it doesn’t work better. :)
