Since you are in Germany, the best place for getting iScreen should be
its "home" server, ftp.informatik.uni-erlangen.de. It requires some
searching though, the directory structure on this server is like they
want to hide their software. :-)

Be sure to get the latest version (3.2, if I didn't miss one), since
scrollback buffers are not in 3.1. (Cut & paste is, but scrollback is
nice!)  Juergen Weiger seems to put one new feature into each version.
I like it very much, though I use it only with SunOS and 4.3 BSD, not
with 386bsd.
