Asterisk GUI - Missing CLI

I have been playing around with Asterisk for the past couple of months. I am getting close to implementing and have re-installed it recently. I have lost the ability to access the CLI through the GUI interface now and have not been able to update Asterisk as I have on all other installs from the terminal at all.

From the GUI System Information Screen:
OS Version:
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.17.11-1.1.smp.x86.i686.cmov #1 SMP Tue Sep 5 23:07:02 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Uptime:
15:05:22 up 1:32, 0 users, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.03

Asterisk Build:
Asterisk 1.4.0
Asterisk GUI-version Revision: 290 $

Server Date & TimeZone:
Fri Feb 8 15:05:22 MST 2008

Hostname:
localhost.localdomain

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Having used the CLI from the GUI before I find it odd that with this reinstallation that I nologer can. What am I doing wrong or different this time?

THanks

try using ssh, simple ssh client, putty (windows)
