This is a followup to note that it does work when I run it on native hardware instead of under VirtualBox. My version of VirtualBox is an old one (2.1.4) running under Linux, so maybe it has some bugs. I had installed FreeBSD under VirtualBox, but installed to a primary partition specifically so that I could later boot directly into it. The odd thing is that I have a similar FreeBSD 7.3 installation which does work properly under VirtualBox. Now if I could just figure out why gnus doesn't work right under emacs I could finish migrating from Linux to FreeBSD. -- Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
