(Though someone else can if they like. Updating web pages is fairly easy;
sync your web client,
1. cd <wherever>/grex/web/htdocs
2. svn update
3. patch --posix < ~veek/latest.diff
[Make sure nothing gets rejected]
4. svn status | awk '{print $2}' | xargs xmlwf
5. [look at the changes to make sure they are okay]
6. svn commit
7. ../tools/syncweb
And that's it.)

Thanks for the list of things that need to be done to make it work, Dan.
As for the Mindterm, yes, it picks up your userid from your computer
where you're running the term. It's not a big deal.
It actually is a pretty decent terminal with a lot of options. We
should consider putting it on the web page where more people can try
it out (hopefully without all the licensing questions).

How about S/MIME validation? Like the new user is considered valid when they
can sign a message to Grex?
FTR, my primary purpose here is shell, especially emacs, not BBS. I do have
a regular shell account at my alma mater but they require SSH whereas Grex
still accepts telnet, which is a great thing when all you have is some random
M$ crapware. (Yes, I know what putty is, so save yourself that explanation.)
The rules against fiddling with open source projects are a little upsetting,
but it is still a great place to test your raw ideas :-)

Note that telnet access at Grex is in deprecated status and may go away
at any moment if staff feel the time is right. SSH is the preferred way
to connect to Grex if you want terminal access.

If telnet goes away I will have to telnet some place else from the library
to ssh to grex.
