Hi Ray,
Not to attack you personally, but I have to ask why is my request so
difficult to understand?
I do not want something like telnet. I never asked for anything like
telnet. I currently am using telnet and it is not appropriate for the task
at hand. I asked about a "packet terminal" look-alike that would run a
telnet sesion. Specifically, I would like an
application/program/client/whatever that would allow a standard telnet
connection, process the stdin and stdout, display them on a split screen,
and provide for scrollback in both screen sections. Other features would be
nice but not necessary.
Why? Simply because I get confused when something comes down the pipe from
the remote connection while I'm typing something else in! Since the remote
application is also connected to via packet, I thought it would be easiest
to explain my need in terms of packet apps. I guess I screwed that one up.
Thanks anyway.
