We are using the Starlan network to connect our 3b1's together. I have been trying to use the utility "phslan" but with not success. Supposedly, this will connect me to another machine. I cannot find any documentation and no one here can help me . Does anyone out there use phslan and can help me?

It is not designed for use by people, hence there isn't any documentation. However, the following command worked for me: phslan <machine> - $HOME/Filecabinet/Profiles/STARLAN:Sl which is basically what the phone manager does when it invokes phslan. On exit one's terminal modes are screwed up, further proof that phslan is not meant to be invoked standalone, but rather via the phone manager.
