I don't think so. A while back, somebody asked and I said I was going to try hacking it at some point. I haven't done so yet. From what I can deduce so far it's going to be a question of removing the "line-discipline" type code from FAS and hooking it in as a Hardware Driver only with streams connections to the ldterm module. I'm still waiting for my nice manual set. If I get a chance you may hear more after Xmas ! Tim -- Tim Wright, Dell Computer Corp.
