to those interested...

these are some things about w20-575-2 that i noticed:

-no lineedit.
-xterm lets you move up and down as if you may edit what you have but then
 you get ^[[A^[[B^P^P^P^N^N: No match.
 or something like that.
-great mice!
-build vtwm for the thing!

athena% telnet w20-575-2
Trying...
telnet: connect: Connection refused
telnet> quit
athena% access_on
access_on: Command not found.

this needs to be changed.

-for consistency, someone should alias things like "where" to "which" and
 so on... 
-16:15 <warning:ez>X error BadPixmap (4) major code 56 minor code 0 ignored
 in my console when i try to preview using ez...
-sh: /usr/ucb/lpr: not found
 psdit: can't copy prolog file /usr/lib/ps/psdit.pro
 gets spewed at me when i try to print from ez!
-no completion in csh.

i understand about the lack of bins, but the machines are not really
usefull without software.  the necessary utilities for latex are missing.
ez won't print or preview.  there are no fun post script previewers that i
could find...  come on!

good luck,
