  • Install Syncterm On Linux

    From DesotoFireflite@VERT/VALHALLA to All on Fri Aug 25 15:53:32 2017
    OK, I downloaded Syncterm-1.0 for linux from sourceforge, but I can't find a doc file on how to install it. I looked on Google, and didn't see anything either. What's the best way to install on linux. Using Linux Mint. Just trying to get used to Linux, needed a new challenge :) Thanks in advance...

    Found that site after I posted the message. It worked, but syncterm will only work in curses mode, and the ansi is somewhat distorted. I remember doing it another way about 2 years ago, but can't find any info on the home page where it was before.

    Thanks, I'll keep looking. It would seem there would be some kind of instruction doc file for us Linux challenged people :)
