My Milan originally came with a basic Mint-NAES set-up and while I could

it had a Toswin2 console, to trap all that TOS/TTP output, it is annoying to
have to have it open on the desktop all the time.

See Helmut, Thorsten? ;-)


Is there a /dev  device that could receive the output which could be easily
directed to Toswin2 when desired ?

Yeah, that's /dev/xconout2 but to be active you must at least have TosWin2
rinning in the background with fixed "open on output" option. What is still
a workaround IMO.


Also, I quite like the way ubuntu programs often have a "show details"
option which
opens a console in the app window.

My point exactly.
