It doesn't compile straight from the box but it's a minor hickup only. Term is originally from linux. It is similar to the program called Unix Windows and multiplexes a serial link between a remote host and a local machine. What's new about this in this packadge is that it also permits access to X/Windows through the serial link *without* the need to be superuser on *both* machines ie. you can just start it and get windows from the remote machine to pop up on your own machine's display. It also seems to handle downloads sufficiently which eg. UW never did. It is also bi-directional (remote user can log on local). If you have any problems I'll be happy to help you out. pao
