certain conventions. You must type the prefix 'U' followed by a unique number identifying the
Remote User. For example, 'U2' is a valid name. If you specify an existing Remote User
number, you receive an error message. The User Number identifier does not have any
significance, other than uniquely identifying an entry.

tunnel.
