I have it working on T60 that has the kernel, 9fat and a cfs partition locally with the root on a vps 80ms away. There are pros and cons vs drawterm to the same machine. Things that I have not explored yet are 1) running a local build and binding $home from the vps or using the vps as a cpu server. -- john weaver -- jweaver@ehzed.com On Fri, 30 Sep 2016, Chris McGee wrote: > It would be interesting to hear how this works out in practice.

Sitting here in a cheap motel room, I realized that all the hotel rooms I've been in over the past few years have a decent flat screen television that takes an HDMI input and has had decent, if not amazing, WiFi to the internet. >> >> Jim >> > >
