- CUTCP (telnet program for PCs) offers quite a nice interface to telnet to
- any other machine. I specially like scrolling back, and monitoring
- data arrivals in other sessions using slash charaters flipping left and
- right.
-
- I either need
- 1. A better telnet program that offers CUTCP-like features, or
- 2. modification to VC code so as to
- i. Enable scrolling back to previous n'th line. And,
- ii. A status line at the bottom of screen that shows
- status of other VCs [arrival of new characters, bells etc.]
-
- I face these problems typically when I work in many VCs. For e.g.
- to check if ftp'ing is over in other VC, I have to switch back and
- forth quite often. Similarly if there is talk message in a VC which I
- am not currently in, most possibly, it goes unnoticed.
-
- A status line showing status of all VC's will surely be great help.
-
- Is there any such utility already available? Or has anyone tried to
- implement this kind of a thing?
