Tony,

  Just as an FYI...

  I am VERY much against the idea of an "Asterisk console".

  It appears that option also enables the console, which is a bad
idea.  If you enable an "Asterisk console" security on the system
becomes non-existant.  Anyone can walk up to the box and have full
access to Asterisk AND the shell (using !) as the user running
Asterisk (usually root).  Not good.

  Consoles are not platform specific but the ability for a virtual
terminal is limited to systems with VGA video and a PS/2 mouse and
keyboard.  Many AstLinux systems only have a serial port.

  I have never had problems using multiple v's or "set verbose".

  If we solve this issue, screen will work quite well!
