Do you know of any newer mgetty.lrp? I just need to get in to troubleshoot so a connection via minicom would be just fine. This box will be connected to a Sprint/PPPoE DSL connection and since I have no experience with PPPoE, it's likely I won't have the box preconfigured correctly. How's that for self confidence ;-) Thanks, Stephen ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.
