OK, the overhead of TCP would be pretty high just to solve that problem.
However, there is a slight problem, and I've made it clear in past
threads. That is, if a front end uses 'set tty' it doesn't know exactly
which process to send signals to.
Yes, this is a minor problem, and I haven't had significant issues with
it yet.
