Sounds very similar to what I want to achieve; however, our accounts within our software are not Windows/UV accounts (these are master by customer); but rather are stored inside a file once the first phase of authentication passes (Username and account name or path puts our customers in the

I'll print out the manpage. vt100, unfortunately, is not an option; we need ADDS Viewpoint A2 Enhanced emulation that AccuTerm does. Now, I have (without involving screen) proxied telnet sessions by setting the TERM variable to addsvp and the enhanced mode (if I recall correctly) worked fine in

As the author of a telnet/SSH package, I have discussed this problem in various forums over the years. Here is what I have learned. It is often possible to prevent a process from being terminated when a connection is dropped, by trapping the hangup signal (SIGHUP) generated by the telnetd or

When I have users in our remote office get dumped by internet/network problems, I use TANDEM then ESC-F to enter feed mode, and control their orphaned session and log them out gracefully, or complete their order to a point they can pick it up in a new session. TANDEM is a marvelous tool for this
