[ILUG] Switch to another tty remotely

	And in a (mostly) unrelated note - please don't use BitchX, use irssi.
BitchX has some vastly overinflated opinions of how often it should
retry to attach to a server that has dropped - often resulting in the
server being flooded, considering itself spammed, and dropping ALL
connection attempts for a back-off period...

	irssi is a much more 'polite' package (and must more featureful and
(IMHO) just as easy to use too :-)  )

	Best regards,
	-->Gar

| Actually it works fine for me with skynet Steve. Started BitchX with
