- The University of Washington has enhanced Clarkson telnet with kermit-
- style key remapping. You can probably ftp a copy from ftphost.nwnet.net.
-
- We're also running an Oracle database and have found the ability to remap
- te keyboard nearly critical. If you're interested in our keymap file and
- Oracle CR definition, let me know and I'll mail you a copy.
