There has been a lot of confusion regarding my previous post.  Philip Dye
 <pd1h+@andrew.cmu.edu>  seems to be the only have caught the gist of what I
 want to do.  I wish to write a program that acts
like a window manager, but over the modem instead of on the machine.  The
 program I want to write would consist of two programs.
1> a window manager program similar to X11, or window manager
        This program would be run on the machine I was logged into and would
               take the output from all processes running and encode it before
 being         transferred over the line.
2>a telecommunication program for the machine I am on.
        This program would allow me to dial up, and communicate as any comm.
        software would do, with one twist:  Whenever it received a certain
               encoded command, it would create/resize/destroy/output text/ ou
tput
               graphics (not at first of course) or whatever the window manage
r              program told it to do.

I am yet to try screen (but will be sure to do so when I get home tonight!)
 although it does not seem to be exactly what I want to do.
I know this is a big project (really big, considering I am just learning about
 C, Sockets, plugs and the such)  But I am willing to make a go of it.  Maybe I
 will finally get it done for graduation (I am a fresh now) ;->
Well, like I formally requested, I would like any source to say vt102 emulation
software, or socket demonstration, or a suggestion or two, anything.  The key to
 writing good software is finding out what people want, not what the programmer
wants.  I do not know if I am ever going to market this program (assuming I ever
 get it to work), but if I do, I will do my best to acknowledge anyone who helps
 me on this project, even give them a free registered copy! ;-)  Well that is
 what I have to say, hope this clears things up a little.

  sorry for the whitespace after this...

    in form and moving how express and admirable, in action like an angel, in
    apprehension like a god: the beauty of the world, the paragorn of animals!'
