[ale] Linux as terminal Server?

[Ryan]

    Have you tried using kermit for Linux?  At work, we run Caldera, and have a
version of kermit written for Linux that works really well.  I use it as a
terminal connection to a pc-based UNIX server as well as for dialing from Linux
to other Linux and UNIX systems.
