That's the point: To get an xterm session. Hummingbird uses ssh/rsh/telnet/whatever to make an initial connection, then kicks off xterm. Xterm connects BACK to the hummingbird X server, providing the terminal window. The ssh session goes to sleep, and eventually terminates, leaving just xterm.
I almost always use xterm instead of straight ssh. The terminal emulation is better supported, so curses-driven stuff works as it should. That isn't always the case with pure telnet and ssh clients. > -----Original Message----- > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Rob > van der Heij > Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 2:08 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] Error message using Hummingbird Exceed V9 to > ssh to SuSE SLES8 on zSeries..... new install.... > > > On Thu, 2003-11-13 at 19:17, Adam Thornton wrote: > > > Point at the right location for xterm?
