I am interested is using my 3B1 to talk to a host without going through
the user agent, but going directly from the UNIX shell.  Can I get
full terminal emulation and file transfer going this route?

I cannot find anything in the documentation which describes what
is actually called when I do terminal emulation.  Any help would
be appreciated.

As a side comment, I have found the UA fast, but increasingly I
have found that I want to avoid using it.  For someone that has
used UNIX for a long time the UA buffers one too much form the
things that are easy to do in UNIX. I think I would much prefer
a windowed from end where each window was a unix shell and had
full resize capability.  As it is now the UA appears to introduces
a bunch of nonstandard stuff between the user and the UNIX shell.
If it truly had an 'expert' option for old UNIX diehards it might
be quite nice.  As it is I find myself tending to just use the 3B1
as a stright UNIX machine, but then I can't figure out how to get
access to some of the things that are done from UA (like the
telephone manager).

Anyone out there solved this problem by creating a sort of hybrid
between the two?

Thanks
