There is no man page for "tell" on hp-ux, dec unix, or aix. However, a

Hello,
recently I installed xlib6 (3.3-5) and xlib6g (3.3-5) because these
packages are needed by other packages of X programs in hamm. This resulted
in several problems:
1) Some packages (mostly still from Debian 1.2) depend on elf-x11r6lib
which was apparently provided by older xlib6's.
I think you are limited to one modem per serial port. I am not sure what the
limit is on serial ports but I know there is a Moxa multiport system with 128
serial ports and I THINK it might be expandable to 256.

Willows TWIN emulation works well for 16-bit programs, doesn't work at
all for 32. If you have the source for the MS windows program, even a
32-bit one, you can re-compile the application on Linux with a Willows
library so that it is a native X program, that works a lot better than
emulation.
So, if you "telnet localhost 515" on your system, does it get a connection?
That's what I was using to see if anything answered on the port.
