- Hi!
-
- If you have problems using xon you could try xrsh which is a shell script
- that allows you to start a command at another machine displaying the output
- on your local machine just as xon does. I can do 'xrsh alpha' from machine
- beta to start a xterm at machine alpha. I can also do a long command from
- xrsh. You can find xrsh on nic.funet.fi:/pub/X11/contrib/xrsh
