I'm still struggling with FTAPE. I am now using Slakware 3.5 and it appears I have an error-free compile. I have tried a number of suggestions I've seen here on the list but still no positive results. There is one change, in that I managed to change messages from the "no such device" to "device or resource BUSY" I've taken the liberty of including some of my console messages/files. Maybe someone can point me to a solution to my problem. Thanks -- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you reply * * remove x from address * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Cheers Ted in Atlanta
