But at this point thats it. There are two problems associated with this. 1. You have to have the new ibcs2 package which I belive is only in current. 2. There are problems with the character set that FreeBSD uses. It does not have the lines and such needed to draw things like the menus. Or maybe we have a problem with the ansi setup...?? > > Thanks > > Max Chase > mchase@waterw.com > Gary -- Gary Clark II (N5VMF) | I speak only for myself and "maybe" my company gclarkii@GBData.COM | Member of the FreeBSD Doc Team Providing Internet and ISP startups mail info@GBData.COM for information FreeBSD FAQ at ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/docs/freebsd-faq.ascii
