- Two ideas; you may want to do both.
- - don't tell them about the main Annex name. Tell them about some other
- name that you have set to a rotary for that set of serial lines, e.g.
- "telnet vax3.my.domain" as opposed to "telnet myannex.my.domain 6005";
- you have "vax.my.domain" an IP number attached to a rotary on the
- Annex.
- - In the "rotaries" file, set the ps_invisible flag on the port.
