Hi!

If you have problems using xon you could try xrsh which is a shell script
that allows you to start a command at another machine displaying the output
on your local machine just as xon does. I can do 'xrsh alpha' from machine
beta to start a xterm at machine alpha. I can also do a long command from
xrsh. You can find xrsh on nic.funet.fi:/pub/X11/contrib/xrsh
