Well, if this emulpc mode is for DOS, my suspicion is that the braille 
display becomes the control master in that case, and it is probably only 
querying the PC for its video memory text content so to keep the PC side 
"driver" as small and unintrusive as possible.  If this is actually the 
case then this mode is counter-productive for BRLTTY.

Pretty unfortunate that they decided to give such misleading names to 
those modes though.
