Is this the thread you mean? https://mail.gna.org/public/conman-users/2007-08/msg00000.html I had looked briefly at conman but haven't tried setting it up yet. So I guess it is time for me to do that. I tried to create a patch from that post but I couldn't get it to work.

I also tried the '--dumb' option that was in the email from Barry and that seems to be working. I'll do some more experimentation with it and let you all know.
