<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">hmm.....</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">using perl/console.pl is doing nothing (except the nice line at the bottom with the time and sysop callsign)</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> </FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">BUT... when I telnet form another system... it works !!</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> </FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">(let's say if your cluster is at home and you only have 1 callsign)</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> </FONT>
