- I'm confused. It's at the slave end that I'm seeing the disconnected
- processes. You're saying that once the slave job receives the `end'
- it should always ``log off'', independent of what happens to the line.
- What does that have to do with ``chattering on the terminal port''? Is
- this chattering something you picture coming from the slave computer or
- going to the slave computer?

-
- By that do you mean I should dial into the slave computer, log into the
- PhoneNet account, and pretend to be the master end of the connection?
- If so, I guess I can figure out how to do that, after making sure that
- there is nothing queued at the master end for transmission.

- You know, I used to do just that!
