I am surprised, with all these great command line tools that have been mentioned no one has yet to mention screen, an almost vital component in my toolbox for command line usage.
Other programs I use that I don't believe I've seen mentioned: rtorrent - Torrents mcabber - Jabber tool (connected to gchat) uudeview - used to decode binary files from newgroups I've tried both tin and slrn for newsgroup reading, both work great for text, but for some reason seem to fail at binary newgroup usage in my opinion (been over a year since I used newsgroups though so couldn't say off the top of my head why now). I've found nget works great for pure binaries though. I've been trying to find a really good imap based command line email client that blends almost perfectly with gmail and it's inability to accurately implement imap according to the RFCs (basically something that does similar to thunderbird but via command line instead). I've tried mutt, but it generated extra emails whenever I send for some reason (they appear in my inbox as replies of my email for some reason, causing unnecessary clutter). --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
