I used to do this too, but certain advantages are to be had with individual ttys. I don't have a permanent connection to the net, I have a dial up.

I do know the immense risk I run, but I am soon to finish up my firewall rules.... -- Kris Kirby ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD... 'Nuff said.
