I've put a 5 second timeout in the gettytab entry which seems to have improved things. I think the getty is zapping out the initial login prompt too quick for the connecting PC. I came to this conclusion because using win3.11 terminal I get the login prompt every time but using the winsock dialer we get handshaking errors. I couldn't determine from the gettytab man page what would cause a delay before the initial login prompt is written to the terminal. It would be cool to have an /etc/conf.getty file which lets you set up things like init strings and delays etc. (i.e. as per linux getty). regards damian -- "There's plenty of rainforest" - A person selling Living Marxism at Edinburgh Festival.
