I have just finished adding code to KA9Q to allow telnet from multiple
windows. The result is ka9qsrc.9.tar.Z and ka9qbin.9.tar.Z on
cs.rutgers.edu, in /pub/linux. In addition to the main program, which
is called "net", there is now a program called "telnet". This program
doesn't actually do telnet itself. It simply sends a request to "net"
over a Unix-domain socket, asking "net" to open a telnet connection on
the tty from which "telnet" is run. "net" does all the real work.
However the result is that you can now have telnet sessions in
multiple windows. Of course you can still do everything from the main
program if you prefer. I'm not going to put this on tsx-11 until I've
had a bit more time to test it.
