Akternatively, the new version of Term (0.99) appeared on sunsite
This is very nice !
You log into uni via xc or whatever you normally use, then run term at each end
(you have to compile it at each end...) - at your end, you run it like you'd run
rz, etc...
Then you can switch to another VC and do a trsh and log in multiple times !
You can log in the other way too !
You can even redirect ports on either end to ports on the other machines !
Lotsa fun, but not with a slow modem :(
(it'll do data compression if your modem doesn't already)
Enjoy !
