I'm looking for something that has the same functionality as carbon copy or PC anywhere, but using IP. I seem to remember someone mentioning a homebrew product like this. Our application doesn't use direct screen writes or other nasty stuff. I have thought about using a COM: via TCP simulator and using DOS's ctty function. Any ideas? The applications were interested in supporting is Novell based mail. We're experimenting with a modified version of ka9q, using it as a SMTP gateway for all our campus-connected Novell servers. If anyone's interested, I can send them a copy of the changes made to ka9q. Steven Wallace Indiana University ssw@lavanix.bacs.indiana.edu

Probably me. I hacked at KA9Q to make the telnet server send its input to
the keyboard buffer, and read the screen for its output. It works moderately
well, to the point that I can telnet to my PC at work, and accomplish useful
things. There are problems, though. I have no solution for generating
PC keycodes, the output is always VT-100, and I always send a whole line at
a time, even if the cursor is on the last non-blank char of the line and
only the last character changes.
Other than that, if you can spare 64K, it works.
