   Please also reply to jko@jdyx.atlanta.ga.us (or to this group) - I'm also
interested.  We have a similar program on our Prime system that allows both
terminal "peeking" and terminal "poking" (writing to their input buffer,
effectively letting you type for them).  We're moving from Prime to Unix and
really need such a program...

   Thanks in advance.
