As I said, it works much better than the version in the archives (which segfaults on start) I didn't test it extensively, although I was able to log into an FTP server and do an "ls". non-us caused it to hang until I ^Ced a few times, but dpkg-ftp has the same issue with that server; I'm not sure what the issue is. (I haven't looked closely at it) Also, interactive performance wasn't great (there's some latency with entering commands and processing keystrokes; I'm not sure what the issue is) If you think I should rm it from incoming, I can, but I figure that a version that can at least display a prompt is a real improvement :-) Daniel -- /----------------- Daniel Burrows <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----------------\ | "Is it too late to extricate myself | | from this plot line?" | | "Yes." -- Fluble | \-Evil Overlord, Inc: planning your future today. http://www.eviloverlord.com-/
