I agree, it works great, but what is the thing with rcons?
I can't find it, I can get to it, the name is not accepted in the terminal
input line.

Someone please be a little more specific about it, and why is it not
mentioned in the install guide, if it is needed (vt202 works sort of,
but not quite correctly).  It does not need to be in the FAQ, but
it DOES need to be in the install guide.  grep rcons INSTALL.txt
returns nothing.  If it is fundamental to the operation of the
basic machine, it ought to be defaulted to, for root.  Why is it
not that way?

Pretty close, but occasionally, ahh, a bit cryptic.....(:+{{...
