Clayton,

Thanks for that.  It answered the question of why I could never get it to
work using WINE.  Jim is a great guy and certainly has spent a ton of time
and energy on Outpost.

I don't, unfortunately, have any experience with C or any other programming
language.  Last programming I did was in Fortran!

I'm certain that as Linux and Ubuntu gain in popularity someone will find
the answer.

I can verify Jim's observation about telnet.

Thanks for the update.

Dick
