It is incredibly handy.  I am gone a lot at work and during breaks (and 
sometimes during slow periods) I can connect to our "employee-owned device" 
WiFi LAN and SSH into the BBS (we are extremely lucky to have this LAN at our 
particular location).  I've discovered tmux has been able to help me do some 
bash scripting too. :D

It's probably some arcane technical issue. :D

Later,
Sean
