- 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 !
