Its an external Courier. I meant push the button to turn it on. It was
only a humourous comment; my wife would kill me if I addressed her as
SOOOOEE like I was calling in a cow; my wife wouldn't know what a modem
looks like.
To get the modem to connect, I ssh to that box and type:
$pon courier
$bwm-ng
and leave this VC 1 open. VC 2 is ssh'd to the box and either mutt or
$watch -n 20 "from -c"
VC 3 is for net-related curses stuff (currently a wget session).
VC 4 is where I type startx when I need to.
There was a time when I had Ctrl-Alt-UP set in inittab to open a new vt.
Doug.
