Interestingly, when I right-click on Terminals, I only have the option
to _disconnect_, not connect.

I went ahead and disconnected, then reconnected.  More messages like
before on my host console.  No remote TCF terminal.  See
   http://www.mlbassoc.com/poky/EclipsePlugin/TCF-after-connect.png

Then I tried to explicitly open a terminal, no luck either

I also tried to open a shell, still no joy

Anything else I can try?
