[TenTec] RE: Pegasus ATTN button

[Paul Christensen]

Although I do not see these rather bizarre conditions as "show-stoppers,"
if the change is as easy to implement as Malcolm suggests, perhaps Ten-Tec
will consider the change in a forthcoming code drop.  Nevertheless, I am
still amazed at how stable the system software is after only a few minor
code releases.
