^^^^^^^ woah!!! You want to get a much later
version. I should point out that term is regarded as being in 'beta'
stages. term 0.9.9l is the latest released. Subscribe to the TERM
mailing list if interested or join the #Linux channel on irc.

It tries to provide much the same functionality without slip's
overhead, and while running entirely in user space. We don't have SLIP
dialins here, and the line noise on my modem is appalling, so.. term
resulted.

It can do this, yes. This is pretty much a side effect. What it's
original intention was was to provide multiplexed error-corrected
compressed streams over the single modem. The various clients to allow
remote logins, and remote X, and local logins etc, and just side
effects.

Well, this one is a little difficult to explain given that you have
given no details of your problem. :) I think 099l will cure a lot of
your problems, and if that doesn't, mail me.
: Thanks
No problems.
