Thanks.   But this is not working either.  Here is the wierd thing.  I have sshd running on the
device, and it is working correctly.  I can ssh to the box all day, I just can not ssh out or to
localhost.  Since "ssh -t" is not working what other advice might someone be able to bestow upon
me?  Again thanks in advance.
