I could either type in the full path name or cd to the directory and type 
./program-name.  I presume the originating computer has to have any 
required libraries on the path, or somehow you need to add the path where 
they are on the other computer.

How do we set this up?  You said telnet was not safe because someone else 
could also telnet to the online computer.

Easy.

Please check if the three modules insert for you with your .p1 kernel 
for BL3.
