Speaking of which, the OSR2 release of Lose95 8*) doesn't think the
modem is active when Kermit is the only thing using a PPP connection
to my ISP.

Absolutely keep the console! I hardly use anything but a full-size
window, as it's noticably faster for doing shell stuff. I suppose I
ought to add one of those "you can have my CLI and Eunuchs shell when
you pry my cold dead fingers off the keyboard" homilies in here. 8*)
_Way_ keep up the good work!!!
