Hi, just wonder if anyone know about a program called "screen"? I was
told it is for connecting two linux machines through serial line. Where
can I find the program and its information?
thanks for any information.

It's a GNU program to give virtual console like fuctionality on a dumb
terminal.

It is a fairly primitive program that lets you switch betweeen multiple
terminal windows when running a single login under a communications program
like kermit or seyon. (i.e., it is not for connecting two linux machines
through serial line - it is something you can use once you have done so.)
It came with my Red Hat 3.0.3 distribution, and has a man page. I'm sure that
it is available on sunsite.

Donno about connecting machines through serial lines, screen is a
terminal multiplexor, so if you're logged in on one tty, you can run
multiple sessions..

The only "screen" i know of is a program for running many screens on one
terminal, using a key combination to switch.

you might be referring to "term" though...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
How is it a primitive program? Is there anything else that will do what
it does better?....without the graphics overhead of course. Is it not
being supported anymore?
