[Dxspider-support] Remote sysop'ing

[Bob Nielsen]

Jan,
You appear to be missing the CPAN Curses module.  In the Ubuntu 6.10  
system on which I run my node, it is in the libcurses-perl package.   
Perhaps there is a similar one for your distribution or you can get  
it from CPAN as explained in the DX Spider installation document.   
Mine is a headless system (no monitor, no keyboard) and I use remote  
access all the time, exactly the way Dirk mentioned (ssh into the box  
and run console.pl).

73, Bob N7XY
