Hi Hans-Peter,
See my reply to Ray. I never inquired about a "packet radio terminal". I
asked about a "packet termial" look-alike that would support telnet.
Telnet, as I am currently using it, is not appropriate.
I have no knowledge of the "standard unix tools" you speak of. I could not
find a man page for "splitscreen". I did find one for "screen". Unless I
completely misunderstood, it's not what I want either, but then there may
be more to it than I think.
I do *NOT* want to emulate a unix terminal. I want to emulate a "packet
terminal". I don't know how else to explain my need. Can it be that no one
else on linux-hams has ever had the output and the input intermixed on a
telnet screen?? Does anyone have any idea what I mean? Doesn't anyone else
telnet into an application whose output is tailored for a packet terminal?
I don't expect you, Hans-Peter, to answer these questions. I'm just ranting
again, because it's obvious that I don't have sufficent knowledge to
adequately explain my need.
