   I have a question regarding a program called TERM099n and it's compilation
   and running behaviour on a NeXT.  This program is actually several programs
   designed to enable a person without root access or "permission" to run
   several shells at once or even several Xwindows through ONE serial line all
   at once.  (Simulates ports on a single serial line - does automatic data
   compression so it's reasonably fast even over a modem)

   This seems like an
   INCREDIBLY useful program, since it doesn't require all the hassle of SLIP
   and it runs without needing root permission right from the user's shell.  If
   some Unix/NeXT wizard finds this program useful, or just wants to give a
   non-wizard a hand, please try and re-compile this program which is found at
   archive site sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/Incoming among many places (try
   an archie on it for the most recent version).

Great!  I've asked about and even outlined designs for just such a
program for months now.  But, I couldn't justify the time to develop
it from scratch.  Michael O'Reilly, has done most of the work, (I'll
just have to get it running under NeXTstep ;-).  It has Makefile
options for NeXT, but doesn't appear to work yet.

BTW, the latest version can be found in the directory

  tartarus.uwa.edu.au:/pub/oreillym/term/

They're up to term102, with new versions appearing every few days, so
it may not be stable.  But that hasn't stopped me.
