- A little insight/info would really be appreciated!!
-
- 1) I need to write an application that services users who dail-up via a terminal
- server and are rlogin'ed or telnet'ed to a specified host. Is there any easy way
- from a 'C' application to determine the pty?
-
- 2) Since TCP/IP is the underlying transport, does using pty's cause significant
- additional overhead? Is there a straightforward method of accessing the socket,
- and doing socket level communication between the process and the terminal server?
-
- Thanks in advance!!!!!!
