All hail the great *n1x exp3rts of the f0rum. I stand before you stripped of my cloak of experience in this strange yet powerful land of 2>&3 and #!/bin/bash.

I would like to be able to divert both stdin and stdout to /dev/rfcomm0 (a bluetooth-connected device) so I can use the keyboard as a terminal for it. What shell command will achieve that? (Then I'm going to use netpipes to connect /dev/rfcomm0 to a tcp port, but one step at a time.)

Secondly, I have been trying to setup vncserver (also vnc4server) so I can use a windows vnc client as vi is driving me a little bit nutty. I am using Debian 3.1r1 (sarge) but the logfile for vncserver indicates that no font files are being found, not even the default font 'fixed'. If anyone has experience of vnc and can give me some help by pm I will be forever in their debt.
