Hmm. How would this fit my original requirements? How can I "send" a terminal session to a remote machine with this? I see how kibitz could be used the other way around (remote kibitz connecting to a local one), but that requires login credentials. Not quite what I'm looking for. > If there are any surprises surrounding kibitz, the primary one is that it's > not more widely known and used.

It's not interactive though, and can't be used in quite the way I want either. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
