- Hi. First, thanks very much to Kenneth Osterberg for doing the Xview
- port! The Open Look interface is wonderfull. Looking at the screen,
- it is tough to tell the difference between my Linux machine and a
- Sun workstation. I am truely impressed.
-
- I too am having some difficulty with shelltool. Kermit behaves very
- strangely when run inside the shelltool.
-
- If I type ^C while in a kermit session, I get kicked back to the
- kermit command line. The kermit interupt character is ^\, so ^C
- should just be passed to the remote host. Kermit works fine in xterm.
-
- Characters that are meant to be sent to the modem from kermit
- (like AT commands) sometimes get echoed to the screen. In a really
- wierd case, I exited kermit in the shelltool, opened an xterm, ran
- a new kermit in that xterm, and then gave a connect command to the new
- kermit. Output from kermit still appeared in the shelltool, which was
- just sitting idle at the bash prompt! It was like the shelltool was
- refusing to give up the tty or something.
-
- I am running xview3L3. Anyway, this isn't a real problem because
- xterm works fine. I am just curious as to what is causing this. Has
- anyone else tried kermit in shelltool?
