This is realy odd, because the person running the session needs to be on the channel, otherwise it's perfectly pointless. > So we are wondering is it possible to write this script in > tcl/tk/expect?

Whoever is starting the session needs to be MBONE-capable, and then they can just run sd themselves. > Just one more thing, personally I still think FreeBSD is slower than > linux, on some aspects.
