I can do that - but I see no where on my ISP that allows that. There's
PINE at their end and ProTERM at mine. Don't see where/how to get to any
chat thingie... Perhaps I need to get to a prompt (which I can do) and
then type in something (ie: not FTP:// or HTTP://, but perhaps something
else?) Hadn't thought of that... Any more info in this regard would be
great (and would likely be a nice little addition to the FAQ's - as I've
not seen anything regarding this - though I may have missed it).
