That's what I wanted to hear, but when I tried it a while back, I couldn't switch out of a connected session with the . Now I just tried it again and everything works fine. I'm testing on someone else's 386 with Windows, so I don't know what has changed in the Windows setup. Anyway, it looks like it can be done. The screens don't appear to update while you are switched out the way the unix virtual consoles do, but they don't lose anything either (and unlike AT&T's 386 console, you can set the background color sensibly). If anyone else has tried multiple kermits with windows, maybe they can share the setup tricks. Les Mikesell les@chinet.chi.il.us
