One of RedHat's service wants to be clever and tries to probe for any kind 
of new hardware you might have attached to your computer.  Amongst other 
things it probes for serial mice which has the tendency to upset BRLTTY 
somehow.  This service is called "kudzu" (don't ask me why).

To prevent kudzu from interfering, just disable it as follows once logged in 
as root:

	chkconfig kudzu off
