If you are using a recent version of ka9q, it comes with a telnet
program. You can run telnet once from each terminal or X window.
I've tried it on X windows and virtual consoles, but not on actual
terminal lines, however I wouldn't expect any probelm. You can only
have one copy of ka9q itself (unless you're using more than one
outgoing line, and in that case some adjustments might be necessary to
allow telnet to know which copy of ka9q to talk to). Two programs
trying to read from the same serial line can get quite interesting!
Unfortunately it's only telnet that is implemented for multiple tty's.
If you want to ftp or do something else, you have to use the main
ka9q. (However if you start an ftp server, you could use telnet to
log in on another system and run ftp from that end.)
