*Thhrrwp*.  To the unknowing, it magically appears that xdm is providing this 
capability.  8-)  Thats what I had meant was happening.

  As far as Exceed doing it, it can indeed open up telnet sessions, etc, in the 
background to handle this sort of thing.  As Derek pointed out, doing this OR 
modifying the default shell scripts WOULD indeed be evil, but I've seen it done.
