I dialed as 'root' then switched terminals and logged in as 'user' and ssh 
followed by the login@URL tells me 'permission denied'.  Telnet 'cannot 
open connection'.  I had already done chmod +x ssh for it to be executable 
by everyone (it would not work even as root before this).

I am trying to follow instructions to go online as user, also trying to 
see if I can print email at my shell account to my own printer, as 'user'. 
I can print it offline as user (text) by setting up printcap and some 
filters, actually text uses the default lpr line, I think.
(If I dial the shell account in DOS and then read a mail with pine I can 
type Y and answer y and it prints the mail from there to my printer).

insmod parport
insmod parport_pc  (these lines activate the printer port?)
insmod lp          (line printer?)
lpd                (starts printing demon)

Switch terminals and login as user (no password requested)

lpr filename   - it prints on lp0 (default lpr) when I am offline.
I forget how to stop a print job - kill the process number?
There is no help file and the man page does not mention this.
If I turn off the printer, next time I turn it on the print job continues. 
Can I kill just one print job at a time?

I want to try this online but I cannot even get online as user.

Why is lpr an 'offline printer'?

I already did chown -R user /home/user so that I could download files to 
that directory while online.

How do I get ssh and telnet to work for 'user'?
