Multiple dnet questions: Does anyone know where to find the source for a SIMPLE terminal emulator? I'm trying to write a replacement for fterm, the dnet terminal server, that does adequate vt100 (and eventually tek) emulation. dnet is a fantastic program, but its usability is IMHO greatly reduced by a lack of terminal functions when connected to a UNIX box. Anyway, I've never written anything like this before, and I need something more to go on than the fterm source as it stands. I tried looking at vt100r29 source, but was frustrated by the sheer size of the thing. something more "readable" would be just the thing. On a similar line, since Dillon's dbbs doesn't appear to be forthcoming, does anyone know of a simple bbs source? I know enough people who have written bbs's to know it can't be THAT hard, but, again, I don't have anything to work from. In a post a few days ago, Tad Guy mentioned the coolness of dnet's nfs server. What exactly is it? Have I been using it without knowing, or am I totally missing out? Finally, I've read articles mentioning a dnet mailing list. How? Where? What? Thanks for any info/advice. ============================================================================= ===== Bill Gribble Internet: bgribble@jarthur.claremont.edu ===== ===== Harvey Mudd College wgribble@hmcvax.claremont.edu ===== ===== Claremont, CA 91711 Bitnet: wgribble@hmcvax.bitnet ===== ===== (714) 621-8000 x2045 ===== =============================================================================

Well, before you get too far along, you might want to look at FTEK. It is a vt100/tek4010 terminal connection kinda like fterm. A bit slower than fterm, but it does handle vt100 text and tek4010 graphics fairly well. It was based on one of the older vt100/tek emulators for the Amiga - don't remember which one though. >In a post a few days ago, Tad Guy mentioned the coolness of dnet's nfs > server.

I can pretty much assure you that if you don't know about it, you haven't been using it. ==================================================================== Kent Polk - Southwest Research Institute - kent@swrinde.nde.swri.edu Motto : "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing" ====================================================================

I've never been able to get the nfs handler to work between my Amiga and my Sun (via modem). Has anyone had any luck with this? Jim
