Hi guys, Please observe that the router version uses oinit, which is a combination of init and command-line facility (adventurous may say "shell" :-). On startup it reads the oinit.rc file, and that's it. The oinit.rc needs to contain only very basic, single commands (no globbing, pipes, subshells, variables etc.. just "echo" :) - the best way to use it is to just put the configuration command you need. You can view the built-ins by typing '?'. I kind of remember that there is also some bug in signal handling, which manifests itself if you do 'kill -HUP 1'. Of course, you can always opt to use the standard init, but then you will have to use getty in order to log-in to the system... Oinit has the advantage of allowing you to execute within 4-5MB physical RAM. On Mon, 9 Jul 2001, Bruce R.
