From: roholdr@ccu.umanitoba.ca (R Ross Holder Jr) Subject: TERM & XWINDOWS REMOTELY Date: Sun, 18 Apr 1993 14:33:04 GMT
A while back, I posted a message about getting Xwindows working remotely
without a slip link. Exams have interrupted my progress with this little
project, but I am still working on it.
The solution I was persuing was the suggestion of Gene Choi
(genie@netcom2.netcom.com). Part of this procedure was to use the program
known as "term" to link the remote machine and the linux machine at home
together by running term on both. It works very nicely on the remote
unix machine - though I get a warning message when I run it:
ld.so: warning: /ur/lib/libc.so.1.7 has older revision than expected 8
But it works. In linux, on my PC at home - when I run term, it just seems
to 'hang'. I can run it, but anything typed is just output to the shell
once I break out (usually by typing CTRL-Z and killing the job). It could
be that there was some kind of error during compilation - compilation was
a royal pain on the linux machine. In this case what I need is a binary
for sun4 unix and a linux binary that are the _same_ version of term
(which is what I think I've got now - version 1.07 or something).
Of course, in order to link with the "term" program running on the sun4
unix machine I have to run a terminal program (like minicom) in linux on
my PC. The terminal program must be running when I execute term or my
modem hangs up.
If anyone's got any suggestions/solution to the problem, they would be
greatly appreciated.
