:-) I gotta catch Bob Jones, to make a release (I doubt I've premission to
do it at sourceforge).

But I've been thinking a few things out.. Instead of having Maximus
listining on a tcp port, I want a dummy program, and It would listen,accept
connections, and then it speaks to maximus by a unix socket.

I almost have it running, but there is a couple of things missing, which I
might have solved in the weekend (if God/wheather/mood/etc is with me).

The goals is, that you can still use the WFC screen, and spy on the users,
multiple maximus sessions can be runed by screen, and I really hope there
is a api, so I can automatically spawn a new screen.
