Robert, I just tried this out (version 0.4) and I like it!! Thanks for the great work. Couple of things I noticed, (sorry if you are aware of them), When logged on via miniterm the 'w' command doesn't show the ethercons user. 'Who' does. The output from top is a bit jumbled. I would definitely like to see this functionality added to the base system, once it is ready. Cheers, Cameron PS I tried logging into the same machine twice and the two miniterm's mirror each other! Not sure if that is intended but it is fun :)
