I know, I've been telling people this. But there are a few apps that
manually acquire pty's instead of using the libc functions, so they
end up with oldstyle one - it works, but isn't aesthetically pleasing.

My SS20 seems to have locked up. (After I installed the deb's I cd'd
to /proc/openprom and typed "ls".) This may just be a kernel issue,
I'll have to wait till I get to work to find out what's wrong. (Ping
works, tcp connections are established, but nothing comes back.)
