Hi Bodo;

This sounds interesting.  Sorry if I seem a little slow, but what
files/programs would I need on my Linux box and on the XT. Also what
"howto" is there on this?

I just looked at "agetty" 's man page. Do I understand it right, if I set
up an account and use this command then I could use the XT as a sort of
dumb termanal? Also I would not need a modem for the XT, right?

Thanks for your help. SuSE is GREAT!

JIM
