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?
