Is this supposed to be a single command line, or 2 separate ones?

I would guess 2 separate ones, yet when I do:

	ssh pll at system-b -L 8110:pop-server:110

I end up logged into system-b at a command prompt.

That's why I used systemA and systemB.  It makes it very clear to 
everyone which is which.  If I said 'tater' and 'taz', I'd be the 
only one who really understood which system did which.
