Do you mean you want to telnet to a server machine and run an ncurses application, or do you somehow want to run a UI on one machine, and a backend on the other. If it’s the former, you just need to set the TERM environment variable correctly on the server machine before running your program (i.e.,
export TERM=vt100).If it’s the latter, then ncurses itself isn’t going to do any networking, but you could certainly write a client that uses ncurses, and have the client talk to a server backend in some way.
