->Also, looking for a "Carbon Copy" or "Remote" like program for ->XENIX--y'know, like under DOS, so I can "eavesdrop" on what another user I have looked before and come up dry. Several notes come to mind: 1. The link between terminals would likely have to be done in the tty device driver. There are only about 8 skillion of these for different vendor tty boards. 2. If the two terminals were different types, translation would be needed. Messy. Requiring Helper and Helpee to have identical terminals reduces potential market. Sorry. Lemme know if you get lucky.

Several notes come to mind: the closest that i have come up with is to get a copy of script and hack it to use unbuffered i/o. all you have to do is have the person type "script file" and you type "tail -f file", or have the other person do a "script /dev/ttyxx". > 1.

(i didnt try to hard, but it didnt look as easy as getting to work on hp-ux...) i too would be interested in something that wasnt so much of a hack. -wayne
