- I've put it on sunsite. Seyon is now a complete X11 communication
- package (well, almost). Let me know of any bugs (and also of success
- stories). The following is the introducion and the change log:
-
- Introduction:
- =============
-
- This is Seyon, an X-based communication package that has its roots in
- xcomm 2.2. Seyon is still in alpha, but is quite usable. It has a
- descent dialing directory where hosts can be chosen by clicking at
- them. Seyon has the same script language as xcomm 2.2, which is quite
- good. Seyon avoids the problematic terminal emulation of minicom and
- other communication programs by using xterm as its terminal emulator.
- Hence, Seyon can emulate vt100 and color ANSI (the latter only if
- color xterm is used). Some non-essential features are still not
- implemented but will be in the near future. If you use Seyon and like
- it, please let me know by email. This will give me the incentive to
- continue maintaining it.
-
- Change Log:
- ===========
-
- Version 0.5:
- * Added a new transfer console that invokes a pre-defined
- protocols ala minicom and all DOS comm programs.
- Intelligent enough to prompt for a file name if needed.
- * Added support for specifying the modem port in the
- resources.
- * Added a new shell button to pass commands to the shell.
- * Moved the status button to be a part of tge set 'Set'
- console and added initial implementation to the set
- console (not functioning yet).
- * The hangup button now asks for cofirmation.
- * The exit button now asks if you want to hangup before
- exiting.
- * Corrected the '-g' switch problem (now '-script') and
- enabled the execution of a script specified at the
- command line.
- * Added a FAQ and a CHANGELOG files.
- * Updated the help file
- * Fixed various minor problems.
