I'm sure he does, but... wopr:/usr/ports/comms/minicom$ grep FORBIDDEN Makefile FORBIDDEN= "Local exploit yielding setuid uucp" It's there, but it's FORBIDDEN due to a security bug. If you don't care and want to live dangerously, comment out the FORBIDDEN line. I haven't needed a modem terminal program in years, but I used to use minicom and Seyon. You might try the latter. It's an X program, though. -- Matthew Hunt <mph@astro.caltech.edu> * UNIX is a lever for the http://www.pobox.com/~mph/ * intellect. -J.R.
