Hello all,

Is there any way to get node to run an external program interactively?  
It does a great job executing a command like "echo"  from the ExtCmd 
section, and then sending the results out over packet, but if you try to 
launch an interactive program like mail or irssi, you get the following 
error: 

stdin: is not a tty

Is there a way to get node to spawn an interactive linux command with 
the callsign as the username?

thanks in advance for the help,

Dave
