I would like to get my hands on a few things...
1. A decent finger program. Single cpu only. Just want to be able to search
/etc/passwd in a more user friendly way than using grep. Additional fields
in the name part would be nice.
2. a thing called talk. It's an asynchronous tty chat program. split screen,
uses termcaps, nicely done.
3. An improved getty, if I can get it. Current getty doesn't properly work
with modems capable of more than one speed. Would like a getty that takes
a single character paramater. This paramater indicates an entry in a
gettytab (or similar file) with descriptive data on what baud to use,
and a pointer to the "next" entry to try when a break (or overrun error)
is detected. In this way, break can be used to step through the entries.
It should then print the contents of /etc/ident and ask for a username,
which it will pass to /bin/login.
...Thanks in advance for your help. The Hawk riseth like the Phoenix...
