Too bad, it was worth a try though. Actually the other day I had
logged in thru telnet to our server from a windows box. However it
needed to be used by someone else so I had to shift. However I had
already started some work. While logging out a thought crossed my
mind, would'nt it be convenient if I logged in from somewhere else
and took over this current session on that pty?
Like I said, it was worth a try, however I had doubts about it even
as I posted the question. Thanks anyway,
Ishaaq Chandy
