Well, stv52 works better for me than any vt10x-terminal I've ever
tried, regardless of platform. Again, if you absolutely need vt10x,
use 'screen' which also has a lot of other useful features.

especially when it's so easy as in this case.

A new TOSFS is AFAIK being worked on, and I'll be very surprised if it
doesn't support VFAT.
