UPDATE: Autorepeat on keys through Black Box

The problem: With the keyboard and mouse connected to an
Alpha (2100A and AlphaStation 200 both exhibit this) through
a Black Box switch, the SRM console behaves fine but T64U
thinks each key pressed is on autorepeat until Shift or CTRL
is pressed, in both single-user shell and X GUI modes.

This is definitely an interaction between T64U and the
Black Box switch; hooking the keyboard up directly results
in normal behaviour at both SRM and T64U levels.

WNT 4.0, FreeBSD 2.2.7 and 3.0, and Red Hat Linux all have
no problem. I'm going to check one more OS -- OpenVMS/Alpha --
before I summarise this as being a deficiency in the T64U
software.
