I don't *think* I'm using syslog-ng (I'm on whatever comes with Debian
woody) and I can do this anyway. I have an entry like this in
syslog.conf:

*.*	/dev/tty10

And I get everything on VC#10

I have loved this feature since I discovered it. I even use it on the
firewall and added a startup script to change to VC 10 on startup (so I
just need to plug a monitor in to see why it's stopped responding :)
