Check out version 0.4 from the above site. It __almost__ works; at
least the TCP transport works, but the ssh transport for some reason
fails to be able to connect to the remote machine (even though I can
'ssh' perfectly fine from another virtual console).
Again, all feedback, patches, etc. gratefully received.
(Also I've clarified that the license is GPL).
Rich.
