There are echo ports activated on your workstations however I am not sure
whether an echo port can be activated on the accelar (it would require a
Socket Service on the accelar which is probably too much to ask for).

If you are trying out the echo demo then you will also notice that even
after the oplets echo and echocli have been uninstalled the echo command
lingers if you do a 
$ls bin
It will not work though.

Last heard from Rob Duncan that he was working on a new release of JFWD, I
am waiting for it too.

Good point. A debugging shell on the accelar would really come handy in
later stages as well when we try newer oplets.
