The only way to dial up to my account from home is over a port selector which has 7 data bits, space parity, and ^S^Q flow control which cannot be turned off. Pretty disgusting, isn't it? Well, are there any terminal emulators out there that will multiplex me to two shells at the same time over a line like this? The version of UW I have won't let me change the parity, and the documentation for Dnet says that it needs 8 data bits. Is there anything out there that will let me download things and read news at the same time? -- Jamie

Ugh. I pity you in a big way. Why people continue to perpetuate the use of 7-bit data lines is beyond me ... | The version of UW I have won't let me change the | parity, and the documentation for Dnet says that it needs 8 data bits. Well, there has been an update to DNet to handle you 7-bit people -- in fact, the current default is to start up in 7-bits. Get the current version off of ucbvax and that should do it. | Is there anything out there that will let me download things and | read news at the same time? Well, DNet should do it, since it supports file transfer in one window with an interactive shell in the other. Of course, something as screen and output intensive as the news system would probably chew up bandwidth on your modem connection in a big way while downloading ... Hope this helps. Eric -- Eric J.

[woof!]
The latest version of DNet (2.13) will work with seven-bit lines.
I don't recall seeing it come over the net; I got my copy off of BIX.
Did it actually reach Bob or Tad?
