Hello,
        I am having trouble geting term to work. I downloaded
term107.tar.z from the address in the man pages for term. I
compiled the package on a RISC/6000, and on my local Linux box.
On the RISC side, my ~/.term/termrc file reads:

escape 17
escape 19
baudrate 9600
remote

On the Linux side, my ~/.term/termrc file reads:

escape 19
escape 17

        So, I login to the RISC box, and run 'term -l/tmp/term.log'.
I suspend Seyon on the Linux box and run 'term -v/dev/modem'.
Then from another xterm, I do a 'trsh'

        This is where the success ends. I can run multiple sessions of
trsh flawlessly, as long as they are from the Linux box into the
RISC box. If I try to do anything in the opposite direction, like
tupload from the RISC to Linux, it bombs. My real question is,
"How do I get txconn working?" Here's what I do, and it bombs every time:

1) Establish term daemons on both machines as outlined above.
2) On a Linux xterm, I run trsh.
3) From a RISC Korn shell prompt in that xterm, I type
   export DISPLAY=`hostname``txconn`
4) I get a message saying that txconn is running, and the display is 9.
5) From the same RISC prompt, I type 'oclock'

        This is when the term daemon on the RISC box stops responding.
I look at the lights on the modem, and the RD and SD lights show no
data being exchanged. The tmon program shows 1 client waiting on the
RISC side. The only thing I can do at this point is to hang up and
call back.

        If anyone has this working, and can help me debug this problem
I would appreciate any help!!! By the way, versions: AIX: 2.3,
term for AIX: 1.07. Linux: 0.99.pl4, term for Linux: 1.07 (Term
was compiled on both machines from the tar.z file)

        Any help is appreciated!!
