Note: sco has a built in program very similar to screen called mscreen.
But I don't think either one provides shared sessions.

SCO made a TLS package that had a facility called spyfs that was supposed to
allow one user to watch anothers tty. I never tried it myself. It didn't
saound from the instructions to be good enough for what I need. I have used
dv a lot on sco, and used to use ttysnoop (free) on linux, but haven't used
ttysnoop lately because we have to use FacetWin for our terminal emulator,
and ttysnoop can't work with FacetWin because FacetWin does not call an
external login program. DV would work because it works at the kernel level,
but dv is practically useless on linux because of the way they tie in to
specific kernels and won't work with any other version or build. There is
another product that works like ttysnoop but isn't free called peek. I
haven't tried that myself because, if I could use peek, then I could use
ttysnoop.

For our support needs we've basically been living without any replacement
for DV since switching off of SCO. For training and sales demos we use a web
based full desktop thing via http://www.beamyourscreen.com/US/Welcome.aspx

Not nearly as convenient or fast, but, for demos and training it is useful
to be able to show the whole desktop since several parts of the app cause
things to happen outside the terminal emulator window, like scanning and
printing and printing to pdf/email/fax etc..

If I could find a windows programmer to pay to finish my few remaining hacks
to Putty, and port my existing hacks up to the current putty, then I could
finally escape facetwin and get dv-like functionality back in the form of
ttysnoop. *sigh*...

You can also download and try the 'screen' program which is located on
the Skunkworks page. It has some limitations, it seems to only work
with vt100 emulation and you have to force all sessions to run one
way, so you are able to attach to them later. But it's open source
and it's free, if that turns you on.

No question, Double Vision is the cream of the crop from what I've
seen. But not free.
