Exmh2 in /usr/ports/mail/exmh2/ will wrap as you type, if you wish. As will the editors for mutt. I've reformatted your words. Creative may no longer offer their Ensonic-based/derived 128 but they are still available. After being nuked by lightning last month the local shop asked to use an OEM Soundblaster 128 PCI card (a.k.a. "Ensonic ES1371" ???) as replacement of my old Aopen AW37. Cost was $38. Sure other places have them but mine came from http://www.gigaparts.com/ What this card does not have is the THX/Dolby 5.1 stuff, and/or digital out. Not that FreeBSD supports that right now. It does have front and rear speaker outputs. Have not tried full duplex in and out yet. The only hitch in making it work with an Asus A7V MB was to set "PnP OS" to "No" in the MB's BIOS. FreeBSD had problems allocating register space for it otherwise. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
