Now how can I get it to do the fancy "dialup & logon sequence" automagically?
I am currently using Reflections and it has a little command language that I
have written a script to dial up and logon for me.  All I do is click on my
Reflections icon, go get a drink, and let it handle the logon sequence.  Note
that this dialup/login thing is complicated by the fact that I dial up one of
those callback type of systems.

Also, how should I configure this thing.  I tried this out and it does indeed
help with curses(3) applications but when I maximized the window it didn't
adjust.  I have a script on the Un*x box I login to that sets the LINES and
COLUMNS but it doesn't like vt100's I guess (it uses /usr/bin/X11/resize but
resize just times out).  I believe I also set LINES and COLUMNS themselves but
it didn't seem to help.
 
Any help would be appreciated.
