(Hence two users at home over one line.) My question is how do we go about doing this? I have already seen the FAQ and that didn't seem to help all that much. What I have done so far is setup /etc/ttys and connected the computers via a Null-modem cable. Now, from what I understand I should be able to turn them on and I should get a login from the remote term, right? Can anyone help me out a bit here, I don't know where to go with this one... John
