Hello. I have an amiga 2000 and a 2400 baud modem and I would like to use university computers from home efficiently. Now I would like to have suggestions how to open multiple windows to differrent machines using equipment mentioned before. I can think of one solution. I use DNET to open multiple windows and use bigger wb-screen (1k*1k) to open the windows in and then scroll around. A lot more better solution would be X-windows but I haven't seen any for amiga (are there any). How are you people out there using your amiga and modem? Are you using VLT or NComm or some other vt100 emulators? I'm a poor stutend so I can't afford anything expensive :-( MIT -- Lets buy a dog!

Noone would like using X over 2400 baud - it's way too slow. Yes, Dale 'GfxBase' Luck sells XWindows for Amiga. I've seen it running, it's nice, and for X, fairly fast. > How are you people out there using your amiga and modem? Are you using VLT or > NComm or some other vt100 emulators? I mainly do networking. I have a full UUCP feed and am using Dillon's AmigaUUCP to do pretty much everything needed in that connection. Also, I'm connected to FidoNet for the more local stuff, using nice PD/shareware programs out of Europe and Australia. Chameleon, TrapDoor & FastPoint. Both mean I get to read/write mail & articles offline - quite a phone saver. For BBS connections, I use JRComm 1.01, which does everything I want apart from ARexx scripting. Haven't tried it's VT100, I have ATalkIII in reserve for that. > I'm a poor stutend so I can't afford anything expensive :-( The only item of the above that would ruin you is X. I wish you clean connections! -Henrik | Henrik Clausen, Graffiti Data (Fido: 2:230/22.33) | | ...{pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!cbmehq!adspdk!hclausen | \__"Do not accept the heart that is the slave to reason" - Qawwali trad__/
