Line 10:
: After thinking about the hardware support issues (or lack-of-support issues), and the utility issues (or lack-of-utility issues), I have decided to stay out of this category of tasks. I think employing these concepts in a modern program would almost always be a mistake. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 14:53, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
:: On the subject of utility of terminal control...Over a DSL link, I can have latency/screen draw issues when running irssi over a compressed SSH tunnel to a PuTTY window with over 7000 character cells visible. On a more general note; might I suggest folks try tying into a curses library, so we can get some more code examples in here? --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 01:38, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
::: Ok, but I think the big reason irssi uses a terminal, rather than a windowing environment (gtk or whatever), for display purposes, is backwards compatability? If the issue is proxying, you can use socks over your ssh connection. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 12:59, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
