newshell AUX: question

[dovegrace]

I occasionally play around with newshell AUX: to export a shell to another computer running a terminal program (usually a TRS-80) via null-modem.

Is it possible to use newshell AUX: to export a shell to another Amiga, but have it pop up as a window in workbench on the target Amiga, rather than having to use a terminal program?

I don't have any real need[/i] for this, just curious if it's possible.

Exactly.

Essentially, type newshell aux: on Amiga A, and have it open in a new window on Amiga B.  I was curious to see if this were possible using the existing con:, ser:, aux:, etc...

No, at this point you need a terminal program. If the terminal program would run in a standard console window, that would give you what you want... but the terminal programs I know do not do that.

That's what I figured, thank you.

I used AUX: a long time ago with some bundle of programs.  Allowed me to dial-in from a friend's Windows 95 machine and transfer files.

Now I would just use telnet.  Any reason why that isn't a viable solution?

Heh, no problem in that regard, I have plenty of transfer and comms options at my disposal.  I was just curious if it were possible, more for my own interest than anything.
