I think he got it working on Digital Unix, though I'm not sure... I can dig up the address, but this was last school year, and I'm not sure if his address is still around... I still have the utils for SunOS though I don't think they will be much use to you... ttyl.. -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking P.O.
