Not necessarily. If what you prefer is text ouput, what you describe is the ideal solution, and I think TelnetAppender is already included with the 1.2 beta. OTOH, I think the idea of this one is to be able to access the event objects, which can then be redirected to a local handler (EG to a local RollingFileAppender, or for display in a GUI tool, like Lumbermill). In fact, if and when I ever have a free moment from my job again :(, I was going to write the exact same thing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
