ok, i got a weird (will, just a little) question about running a shell from a different computer.. is there anyway to get a shell to accept input from a different device (ie. the ser: port?) i tried newcli <ser: and newcli from ser: but that didnt seem to work... the reason is i would very much like to work on some cli stuff while my brother is using my computer for other things (like games or term program)...

You can use AUX: for this. It uses the serial port, so a concurrent term program is out unless you have a multiport serial card. Edit the AUX: entry in devs/mountlist to match the baud rate of the other computer, connect them via a null modem cable, then: mount aux: newshell aux: This will open a shell on the serial line. Note that only line-oriented programs will display on aux:. If you start a program that uses windows, those windows will open on the main screen, not the serial line. -- ========================================================================== Joe O'Hara || Disclaimer: I didn't say that!

I never mess with my Serial Prefs so I always set Aux: up at 9600 Baud. Thanks for clearing that up.
