Well, I wasn't in a real grim mood, but I meant to be saying
something basically true. Maybe I am totally out of context;
I wasn't talking about telnet, I was talking about sitting right
in front of computer built into a rack of equipment. X-windows
is not installed. In normal operation a CRT screen is useless
clutter, but sometimes you need to get in and twiddle things.

Any telnet'ing generally is _to_ not _from_ the robots.
Some of them still run DOS. Email is irrelevant.
But there is enough traffic on this list right now, so I will
read quitely for a while. Keep up the good work.
