There is also special attention given to direct serial connection including instructions for making the appropriate cables. I don't know why you want or need an ansi terminal emulation rather than an xterm or vt** term. What you would do in ckermit is just make sure that the xterm you are using has an extension for ansi codes. I don't what linux x terminals have ansi, I doubt you would have much problem finding an executable of just such a term program (or perhaps compiling one). They do exist. Just go to the usenet terminal group and ask. There is also a very good kermit news group. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
