it turns out i had a bit of extra time since it's too icy to leave the house. :-( anyway, here are all the programs that take -x mntpt, as determined by the man pages. vnc(1) vncs httpfile(4) 6in4(8) ndb(8) ndb/cs, csquery, dns, dnstcp, dnsquery, dnsdebug ppp(8) ip/ppp, pppoe, pptp, pptpd secstore(8) secstored syslogd(8) udpecho(8) none of these programs take a dial string. however, some of them could (see nettest(8), http://sources.9atom.org/magic/man2html/8/nettest) such as syslogd, udpecho, secstored and vncs. httpfile, well, rob has already made the point. - erik
