When you said regular shell, you meant alinux virtual console, I tried that with the ones proxmox show VC, I gues it was called, well, no lines but "qqqq", so that must be some encoding orXKAT thing and No, as I said before I cannot call myself Lnux guru in any way, I know some commands, but I said that before and gained some hate, so...

I have not gone that path because I was in doubt CGP would even know about Fido, golded, but I guess If I feed it the right links I could do something
