Several notes come to mind: the closest that i have come up with is to get a copy of script and hack it to use unbuffered i/o. all you have to do is have the person type "script file" and you type "tail -f file", or have the other person do a "script /dev/ttyxx". > 1.

(i didnt try to hard, but it didnt look as easy as getting to work on hp-ux...) i too would be interested in something that wasnt so much of a hack. -wayne
