hi Mats, many thanks for your email. I used 'screen' (since I don't
have X set up) and the ping test works. Some observations:

a) it works real fast if i say net:ping(bla).
b) it works much more slowly if i say net:ping(bla@REDACTED).
c) [expected] it gives an error for net:ping(bla@REDACTED).
d) i can use JCL to start a remote shell from foo on bla, but trying
to connect to that job still gives the "Shell process terminated!"
error.
e) I tried starting my echo process remotely, and that did not work:
(bla@REDACTED)2> EchoPid = spawn(foo, echo, new, []).
<0.44.0>
=ERROR REPORT==== 27-Feb-2007::11:37:48 ===
** Can not start echo:new,[] on foo **

Dunno what that all indicates?

sincerely.
