I have a 3Com ADSL router for my home network.  I have found that it
(according to the docs) has the capability to send log messages to syslogd
on my FBSD box.  I think I've set up the router correctly as it shows that
it's sent 126 messages but I have received none on my FBSD box.  I assume
that there's some setup required with FBSD to allow it to receive the
messages.  I've read the man page for syslog.conf and restarted syslogd
with -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:* where the xxx is the ip of my router.  Yet I am
still not receiving messages.  I have searched the 3Com site for a "how to"
but could find none.  Does anybody have any ideas on what I might need to do
to get this working or what additional information I need to find?

Thanks,

Drew
