Can't access remote machine anymore

[phil at 1918.com (Phil Buckley)]

Well, I phoned my unix-impaired friend and he is able to login at the machine itself.... so at least I still have a chance... :)

Now it means I have a long drive tonight....

Any other ideas on how I might be able to avoid that drive?
