Great!  Now when can we get 4.0? :-)  [We have a fair number of Annex
boxes on campus: something like 7 for the CS department facilities=
(faculty, staff, and grad students) alone, and more for other
departments in the building: around twice that total.  I have no idea
how many there are in the CS Center (undergrads) but they are there as
well.  They generally work well, and we like them; the flush bug has
been the only real thorn.]

This is substantially better than the old telnet, though it has been
improved again since then.  (But since we never use telnet. . . .)
