Xinu Console Tools
The XINU Console Daemon and various associated utilities provide network clients with connectivity to backend consoles that are really only connected directly to the console host. The xinu-console software package is now freely available for UNIX console hosts and front end clients.
(Note: Information about the Windows version of the console tools can be found on the WinXINU page.)
