screen

[rbriber at POLY1.NIST.GOV]

Screen sounded like a nifty program to me so I downloaded it off of sgi.com
and unpacked it.  I couldn't see anything that need changing in Makefile 
except for a few destination directories so I typed make and it seemed
to build ok.  I moved the files to their locations and tested it out.  It
worked fine (as far as I could tell) over the ethernet from my PC, but when I
really want to use it is when I dial in from home.  I tried it out last night 
from home  and found that invoking screen hangs up my connection.  Furthermore
I can't get the machine to answer when I call it back.  Our system is 
connected to a Rolm data phone system which we access by calling a modem pool 
which then allows us to wander around inside the Rolm system (essentially a 
9600 baud rs-232 network).  We do not have HUPCL set for the login session 
because that causes problems with the Rolm system.  Has anyone else used 
screen in this sort of arrangement or were there some Makefile switches I 
should have set?

Thanks anyone....
