Dear Netfolk,

I'm working on a project here which requires me to be able to run my PC from
an ASCII terminal hooked into the serial port. Does anyone know of any such
programs, either public domain or commercial? I have heard that they are often
used by people running BBS's.

The following features would be acceptable/preferable:
1) Can operate with no video card installed
2) Allows input from either the serial port or the keyboard
3) Source code in either 'C' or assembler available
4) Allows use of function/arrow keys
5) Works only with "Well Behaved" programs.

If anyone knows of such a program, please email me and tell me where I
can get it. I don't have ftp access, so if you have a public domain version,
could you email that too. I would be eternally grateful.
