The problem with the PTY is fixable. I submitted the fixes a couple years ago, but it's never been encorporated into the sources. I have the modified code and man page if anyone would like it. I can put it on my FTP server. I have also compiled TNOS and JNOS on FreeBSD. TNOS is sort of aggressive, as it wants to play with your password file, probably not a *good* thing! -- Jim Durham
