  13. I've recently discovered that our X-terminals and our Sun support a network
  14. service called "link" (or ttylink).  It uses port #87, you should be able to
  15. check /etc/services to see if the entry is on your system.
  16.  
  17. Here's my question:
  18.  
  19. I don't know, and haven't been able to find *any* information on how this is
  20. supposed to be used.  I can telnet into the X-Terminal and throw bytes out of
  21. its' serial port, but I just have this sneaking suspicion that there's more
  22. to it than that.
  23.  
  24. Anyone ever work with this before ?
  25.

  28. p.s. Please respond by e-mail as I do not regularly follow this group.
