Re: Conserver <-> Digi32 via SSH

hey emmett!

here's an idea, based on some stuff i put in
conserver.cf/samples/average.cf:

default digissh {
    type exec; portbase 7000; portinc 1;
    exec ssh -p P H;
    execsubst H=hs,P=Pd;
}

default digi {
    include digissh;
    host digi;
}

console foo { include digi; port 2; }

personally, i'd fully qualify "digi".  and there are other bits you'll
need to add (like "rw" and possibly "ro" options, the "master" option,
etc).  check out the samples directory for more possibilities (and there
have been posts in the past with working configs for similar
situations - i believe).
