It would be nice also if pmconsole was smart when doing this, for example,
setting the message to: "Welcome to my.net port %p" would expand the %p
differently for each port. That is handy when a customer calls in to say
that they had problems that happen to be caused by the ISP's modem. We
can ask, "Did the connect message say which port you were on? Good, we
will check that modem. Thankyou."
