I prefer mgetty. If my terminal server is dead, I'd prefer the phone not answer, rather than answering but having nothing work. Users understand no answer means the system is dead -- if it connects but doesn't work, the user is left wondering if it's their problem or mine. -- John McNamee <jpm@microwiz.com> MicroWizards Voice: 702-825-3535 / FAX: 702-825-3443 http://www.microwiz.com
