I heard recently that PuTTY had been ported to OS X. There seems to
be no point at all to this.
Open a Terminal, type "ssh <hostname>"...what's so tough about that?
It works fine.

Yup. And the DECSWL and DECDWL (Test 4) work!!!
That test is tremendously fun. It also reminded me I disabled blinking text. ;)

Off the top of my head, I can name at least two dozen easy-to-install
free terminal emulators for Windows. There are probably a great many
more than that.
Is PuTTY not available for WEENDOZE???
On Mac OS X and Linux, it does a failrly reasonable job of digesting the
VT200 series escape sequences and even does DECSWL and DECDHL correctly.
If you want to test your emulator, telnet to great-escape.tmesis.com and
log in with VTTEST -- no password. It's a captive account that runs the
VTTEST suite.

Google MacPorts and PuTTY. You'll have to build it. I did it back when
I was still running 10.4.something on the Mac as an academic exercise.
I don't really use it on Linux either. I'm more content with an xterm
and typing 'ssh ...'. To me, the command line is so much easier than a
GUI for something this simple. It's also easier when setting up various
port ssh-tunnels, IMNSHO.
I only mentioned PuTTY because I know the WEENDOZE camp is command line
challeneged.

Hello!
I'm not command line challenged.
But I also use PuTTY on both Windows (here) and Linux. I've also built
it for my Slackware Linux system.
This discussion is becoming decidedly strange. The big problem here is
simply making things easier to work with.
However what further progress has been accomplished in sorting out how
to deliver serial over Ethernet directly?

Sorry I dropped this. The bridge code can be found at http://www.update.uu.se/~bqt/hecnet
Areas were listed by Corey.

Hi Johnny,
My name is John Reinhardt. Long time HECnet lurker, occasional

some systems up and I'd like to request a HECnet area to use. Anything
that is free is fine, I don't have any special number desires.
I'm still working out how I will connect. I'm playing with the
virtual Cisco that Ian posted recently. Otherwise I may take a shot
at the bridge and see if I can get it running on my Vyatta
firewall/router.
Where is the latest version of the bridge code?
Regards,
John H. Reinhardt
