Nope, can't log in remotely because the B2000 does not boot by itself. It
issues prompts at the console and waits forever for answers.

What version of HP-UX? I take a rather perverse pride in being able to
build C-Kermit -- even the lastest release -- on every conceivable version
of HP-UX; currently this goes back to 5.21:

After reading my morning's mail of spam, scams, viruses, chain letters,
webcam come-ons, e-business newsletters I never asked for, and bounce
notices for virus-laden mail I never sent, this discussion almost restores
my faith in the Internet -- maybe some small corner of it is worth saving :-)
