Hi - I'm running MacSLIP in (from TriSoft) across a compressed 9600 line (Prometheus Modem) - For the most part it works very well, I've been able to successfully use many programs like MailStrom, NCSA/Telnet and Nuntius (at this very moment in fact). All in all, I am very pleased with MacSLIP+MacTCP operations. But, MacX 1.1.7 seems to be giving me some problems - I can install and run MacX fine - no error messages. I can start up an xclock client - it works. I can also start up twm and have my windows managed from a remote process (not that I want to do it every day, but it works). But I cannot sucessfully run a xterm or xwsh (I run the client processes on a SGI). The client connects, is visible, but typing into the window does not produce characters. I've tried different fonts and different client programs, but none seem to work. I can watch my modem xmit/recv lights - when I type they flash - both xmit and recv so it seems that there is two way communication. And I've been able to install and run the same version of MacX across localtalk through MacTCP+Fastpath to the same client hosts at work. The only thing I can think of is that my system KCHR is hacked to swap Control and CapsLock. Has anyone seen this kind of problem with MacX? Is there something I am missing? Thanks for any help. - Scott Presnell srp@cgl.ucsf.edu, srp@ucsfcgl.bitnet
