Very Computer

Hi.. I'd like to know if there exists, or is plans for, a "term" utility
that allows name lookup (and telnet/socket binding ) for hosts on the
other side of the link.

Here's a specific example I'd like to have: Mosaic.

I can run it on my school computer, and have the display be my home
computer. But it really sucks to wait for a 100K image to download to the
school computer, then be downloaded to my computer via X protocol. It
would be so much faster if I could run Mosaic from my home computer.

By the way.. some nice people pointed out the existance of "Mosaic+term".

one little problem. I don't have a linux system. I have a SPARC system.

Can someone tell me whre I could get source?

Off the subject ramble:

1) It would be really nice if linux developers would get into the UNIX
mentality, and always distribute the source, instead of just binaries.

2) it would be nice to have a more general "routed for term" type of
thing, instead of hacking specific binaries like telnet, ftp, and mosaic
one by one.

Try chimera at ftp.cs.unlv.edu.  It is fast and will configure for term on
Sun very easily.

I have contributed to porting a Mosaic 2.0 port to term to Mosaic 2.1, but
my primary home Sun machine is dead and I cannot find the ftp site.  You
would have to have Motif, which is unnecessary for chimera.  Chimera can get
confused by some gopher stuff still, but it is getting relatively solid.
