The easiest way to do this would be to SSH into linerva.mit.edu. On a Debian-based linux distro, open up a terminal and type {{{sudo aptitude install ssh; ssh @linerva.mit.edu}}}. On Windows, download a SSH client (such as PuTTY, at http://chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) and install it. Once you've opened it, type {{{@linerva.mit.edu}}} into the prompt and hit enter. On a Mac, open Terminal from the Utilities Folder in Applications. Type {{{kinit ATHENA.MIT.EDU && ssh -K @linerva.mit.edu}}} (In all these cases, don't include the angle brackets, just replace with your MIT username). You will then be prompted for your password. Enter it, and then carry on with running barnowl! + To start barnowl, run the command {{{add barnowl; barnowl}}} at the prompt on any Athena machine or dialup, such as linerva.mit.edu. The simplest use of Zephyr is to send personal zephyrs to other users. To send a zephyr, type : to bring up a command line, and run the command {{{zwrite USERNAME}}}. You can also start a {{{zwrite}}} command by simply typing z. -- 2.44.0
