- <P><B>Profile</b> - In profile you need to set a Profile name below
- the equally named label. <br>
- <P><B>Connection</b> - Then you need to choose a Connection type.
- In this version Opie Console supports a legacy console called
- 'local console', a Serial and a Modem connection mode.
- Depending on this choice the second tab will have a different GUI.
