A guy on efnet who goes by the nick lunartear. I'm helping, but we're really both bashing our brains out on a Curses problem. Updating a lot of text at once (scrolling back and forth, for example) corrupts the display. Other than that, it's mostly functional. I've heard rumors that fbsd's ncurses isn't all that hot, so maybe it's not the Perl code doing it. Other areas we're looking at are terminal flow control (it happens in xterm but not on the text console) and termcap problems (cons25 vs. xterm-color). > > Also, I'd like to add encryption to it, and it would be cool to have > > an encryption based server that I can trust. > > Try ssh + ytalk. :-) Heh heh heh! -- Rocco Caputo / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / poe.perl.org / poe.sf.net
