Since you apparently *require* a text-only browser, have you tried these: ELinks Links w3m Wikipedia also lists edbrowse, but it doesn't appear to be in ports, so YMMV trying to get it to work on OpenBSD. If you *don't* really *require* a text-only/console browser, ie. if there is e.g. a chance to enable SSH on your modem (some of these run Linux...), then you'll have to give more details. Another solution that I could think of might be to use curl/wget to fetch the pages you want, and then to write a program/shell script to transmogrify the page to something you can use. Of course, in the extreme this might require partially implementing an EMCAScript interpreter -- assuming that that's what's really missing; not being able to see the colourful images should not be much of an issue, but most text-based browsers not grokking EMCAScript probably would be. Hope this helps, --ropers Thanks for the suggestions, but no luck. Unfortunately, none of the text browsers I tried (lynx, links, elinks, links+, w3m) worked. The router's internal webpage is !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 TANSITIONAL//EN. It seems to require javascript (ECMAscript), which may well be the problem. SSH to port 22 does not work (it just times out), and telnet replies connection refused. I am not up to compiling external applications; I try to stick with what's in the OpenBSD packages collection. And of course, the manufacturer's website was absolutely clueless. So, it seems that I can either: 1) just manage the router from another computer with another OS. 2) activate X on the OpenBSD computer and install a graphical browser. If I choose option #2, what what graphical browser would have the least overhead, and above all, do the least damage to my security? I know it's not OpenBSD's fault that the router's control webpage requires javascript, but I am surprised that there doesn't seem to be a simpler, less insecure alternative. Oh, well - so much for security . . .

wireless mouse for OpenBSD ?
Recently in a big box computer store, I was disturbed to notice that almost every single mouse was wireless. I use ps/2 and usb wired mice with OBSD, no problem. But I was unable to get OBSD to even recognize a Labtec wireless usb mouse with my laptop. Are any wireless usb mice supported by OBSD? If not, what will happen when wired mice are no longer available?
patching OpenBSD [re-sent]
NOTE: THIS IS A RE-SEND. ORIGINAL MESSAGE SEEMS TO HAVE NEVER BEEN POSTED TO LIST AFTER NEARLY 1-1/2 HOURS! (Can you say NSA?) I just patched OpenBSD i386 RELEASE following the examples for patching at http://www.openbsd101.com/ since the procedure in the OpenBSD FAQ seemed somewhat complicated and unclear. Doing so, I did not have to mess around with things like CVS or CVSup, or spend all weekend learning, downloading, updating what I downloaded, compiling (and compiling and compiling . . . ), etc. It seems to have worked okay. But I did notice that the OpenBSD FAQ (10.15 - Applying patches in OpenBSD) states that: . . . to patch your system you must have the source code from the RELEASE version of OpenBSD readily available. . . . In general, you should have the entire source tree available. We will assume you have the entire tree checked out. Well, I did download: ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.0/src.tar.gz ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.0/sys.tar.gz ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.0/ports.tar.gz ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.0/XF4.tar.gz Here is where the unpacked source code files ended up: (src.tar.gz)- /usr/src (sys.tar.gz)- /usr/src (ports.tar.gz) - /usr (XF4.tar.gz)- /usr Is that what is meant by (or functionally equivalent to) checking out the entire tree? Now, the patches applied were through 009, the latest currently listed in the errata. But when 010 and later patches need to be applied, will I have to each time again download and unpack the (updated?) source code in the same way, or have to (YUCK!) mess around with CVS or CVSup? Or can I (hopefully) just patch against the source code I have downloaded? (Note: all I really want is to have the security fixes and important system bug fixes.) Final questions: by patching the system as indicated, is that the same as updating to stable, or is that something different? And when OpenBSD 4.1 comes around, can I update to 4.1, or will I have to do a mandatory fresh install?
binary updates
When will we ever see binary updates for OpenBSD? Taking a system off-line for over 20 hours to do a source code rebuild is just too long, and just tracking RELEASE means running an insecure system. Binary updating - try it, you'll like it!

where is unarj-2.43?
Okay, I give up. Where is unarj-2.43 in the OpenBSD 4.0 i386 packages? Clamav seems to need it, but pkg_add said it could not be found. Is it indeed missing?
video hardware determination
Hello. I inherited an old '586 computer with built-in graphics (no video card) and a no-name 17 color monitor. I have no documentation for either. I am trying to set it up using xorgconfig. Is there a utility within OpenBSD 4.0 RELEASE i386 that will interrogate the hardware to determine: 1) video memory amount 2) best driver (ATI generic seems to work best so far) 3) monitor resolutions available 4) VGA, SVGA, interlaced, non-interlaced, etc. 5) horiz and vert frequencies? What I want is to have it start as 800x600, but be able to switch on demand to 1024x768, since a number of ignorant software programs insist on being displayed in 1024x768 (programs with configuration pages with buttons are notorious for that). It hard to click the ok button when it is below the bottom edge of the screen. So far, I can get it to display either 1024x768 or 800x66, but not switch between them with ctrl-alt-(-) and ctrl-alt-(+). Note: ctrl-alt-(bksp) works fine. Thanks.

how to wireles login when WEP and SSID are enabled
Hello. Simple question. I can make a wireless connect to a wireless router from a computer with 802.11b adapter running OpenBSD 3.8 RELEASE with no problem when SSID and WEP are disabled. When they are enabled, how can I get it to prompt me for the SSID and WEP so I can enter them manually and connect? I have searched the FAQ, lists, etc. but can't seem to find the answer. Thank you for any advice!
