[ILUG] Question about ssh

[Frank Peelo]

If I go on holiday (to a campsite near the sea in, say, Wexford or 
Waterford) and want to do something with my home pc (Mandriva 2007.0), 
would I be right in thinking that my chance of finding an internet cafe 
that would let me use ssh is essentially zero?

Also, if I use ssh or telnet (windows has telnet, but I don't think it 
has ssh), is it possible to start a program or script running, and leave 
it running when I exit? I tried it from here, log in as sshuser, change 
to another user, start a script with &, type exit and I get a message

     There are stopped jobs.

Is it possible to exit and leave the jobs unstopped?

Thanks
