My children use my NeXT using their own accounts, but they are too young
to understand (and remember) passwords.  I have now set my computer up to
receive incoming modem calls.  The question is, how can I limit logins
to my children's accounts to the main terminal only?

What has NS3.0 done to lpr?  I used to be able to lpr ASCII files to my
old Epson FX-86 using a printcap that avoids the PostScript filters.  Is
Now everything that I lpr prints as PostScript code.  Is anybody aware
of a NS3.0 workaround?  I don't want anything fancy, just ASCII out the
serial port.

Finally, why is it that whenever I try:
          cu hostname
I get an Input error after the modem has been taken off the hook, but when I
try:
          uucico -shostname -x5
there is no problem?  I was trying to use cu to test my uucp chat scripts,
but cu only works if I do "cu phonenumber".  This last is not critical since
using uucico is better for debugging the scripts anyways, but I'm curious.
                             Thanks,
                                      Paul
