% I strongly suggest that anyone interested in allowing remote access to
% thier AmigaUUCP systems pickup AXsh and use that.  I grabbed it off of
% an FTP site and it is just fantastic!  Although there are alot of
% commands that could be added to the system and a menued user shell would
% be nice, this puppy is the best thing for remote logins since sliced
% bread.

     I aggree  =:->  Unfortunately, it seems to have problems with the
1.15  getty  (i.  e.  I  get  only  errors  when trying to start `axsh
<>axaux:'  from  a  passwd-entry) ... Suggestions  anyone  (except up-
dating to 1.16)?

% Also, if anyone has ANY config info for using other news readers and
% setting up a mailer that will work with AmigaUUCP, please let me know as
% I would be very interested.  I have TNews but have yet to play around
% with that.  It will work remotely, right?

     After purchasing  a  multi-serial-board,  I'm currently trying to
set  up  remote  mail  and  news  access ... Current setup: null-modem
cable  between  DU0:  (port  1  of  board) und SER:, jrcomm running on
duart.device  unit  0 which communicates with the `newshell aux:' I've
started  before.   I  started Arn in the remote shell (`arn -Tamiga'),
the  Arn's remote-editor is set to `AXSh:bin/editor' ... Works so far,
but  after  `editor'  quite,  I get a shell prompt forcing me to enter
`endcli',  after  that,  I'm back in Arn ... I suppose this is a setup
problem.

% If anyone wants AXshDemo125.lha they can request it from my system via
% BMS or they can dial directly, check out the remote shell and download
% it using the File Transfer portion of AXsh (FFE).  My system is up all
% the time and the number is 908/560-1714 runing a Hayes Ultra 144
% V.32bis/V.42bis high-speed modem.

     AXSh 1.25  (and  1.24) is also available from hactar.hanse.de via
BMS and/or nuucp (nuucp preferred, at least from Germany) ...

% Now all I need is a multi-port serial board, a few more modems and a few

Yeah, a multi-I/O-board makes testing remote stuff a lot easier =:->
