Makes sense. Sorry, my *nix is limited. I used an old AT&T unix machine
many many years ago (running System V), but that was limited to "user"
knowledge. I knew how to turn it on, and start up the software I needed
to use. I have recently begun to play with linux, but havent had much
time to really sit down and learn it (althought that will probably
change, since I need to upgrade my web server, and Linux with Apache
seems like a good option)

Correct. I need to connect something that the system will think is a Wyse
60.
