From time to time I am off-site and wish to make a few changes to code,
re-compile and transfer the image.  You are right, however, in pointing out
that I can do all that with rsh.  Rlogins would "just be nice to have".

On another subject, we would like to dedicate an Amiga as a company mail
bridge between our VMS and UNIX machines.  I have the Syndesis decnet
implementation (with mail capabilities "coming soon").  Is there any way
to pull this off?
