Thanks, I'll look into screen. Hopefully FreeBSD has the equivalent...I've
seen notes in mutella's TODO list - to explain the use of screen to keep
uptimes at the max.

Since "screen" is such a common word, any chance you have some good links on
it?

I'm aware of vnc, but that's not quite what I want, unfortunately.

The application that would be most nice to "grab" is EveryBuddy. For obvious
reasons, I can't run it twice. Anyone know of (and use) a commandline IM
client?

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river 
was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of 
time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the 
words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.
