     Hi netters!

     I tried to install uwpc102 that was posted in cbipc a week ago but
I can't make the uw server run correctly.  Here is my setup:

     My PC is connected to an ethernet terminal server through its
serial port com2.  I use com1 for something else.  When I want to work
on my favourite workstation, (a sun 3/60 running sun OS 4.0.3), the
terminal server connects me through a telnet session.  I tried to
connect to the sun with uw.exe running on my PC.  It works just fine
until I try to run the server to open more than one window.  Then, I get
stuck.  I can't do anything more.  I tried to recompile the uw server
with different makefile options.  The only thing I didn't change is the
VERSION variable that was set to 4.3: my sun runs a 4.3BSD unix.  Could
anyone succesfully install uwpc102 in a similar setup?  If so, could you
please give me advice?  Should it work better if I connected my PC
directly to the serial port of my sun?

     I am not a super-user so I compiled the uw server under my home
directory.  I set the BINDIR, LIBDIR and INCDIR to names of directories
I could write on but do I need some other special permissions for the server
to run correctly?

     Many many thanks in advance for any advice!
