It's been a while since I set up vat, I've forgotten how I did it! :-) Yeah, the sliders don't work. Use the mixer(1) command instead to adjust the volumes. And NEVER, NEVER open the mic when you're receiving audio -- the machine will lock up hard! You may want to try the 'vat-and-half' utility availabe from ftp://rah.star-gate.com -- it's a half-duplex version of vat that will work properly on your SB. > P.S.
