It is valuable advise. Some other people can be tempted about startup scripts now, and it is not wise to let them to hang when you can not reflash yourself


Other trick I can think is to get the executable of rxvt, hoping it still works, and do a small shell script waiting some minutes (to let the user get off from the testing network dialog), then switching on the network, then running rxvt against a external xdisplay. Your method, netcat based, had the adventages of being permanent and of not needing a Unix/Xwindows counterpart.
