   I read about tmux and a 4 window layout for SBBS, but that's new to me, so not   
   gonna even ask.

   When you said regular shell, you meant alinux virtual console, I tried that   
   with the ones proxmox show VC, I gues it was called, well, no lines but   
   "qqqq", so that must be some encoding orXKAT thing and No, as I said before I   
   cannot call myself Lnux guru in any way, I know some commands, but I said that   
   before and gained some hate, so...   
      
    DS> not always direct an answer but it gives you guidelines/hints/tips you

   I have not gone that path because I was in doubt CGP would even know about   
   Fido, golded, but I guess If I feed it the right links I could do something   
      
    DS> Dennis   
      
   Thanks again!.
