I have deleted the earlier messages, I think. However, I'd be happy to
help (having just done some of this stuff recently, too). I also think
that I may be in some physical proximity to the poster who was looking
for Classic cable/telnet/etc. advice since his address was (I think)
midmaine.com. I'm in Brunswick and work in Bath.

Whoever that was, feel free to contact me off-list if you want...
