I'm not a ppp guru (I have it working, but barely) so I won't try to answer that one. Seyon is designed so that you can run any particular X program as the terminal emulator by calling the "fake" program seyon-emu. When I run seyon (seldom, I like kermit now) I set up a link in /usr/X11R6/bin, between color_xterm (the program I want seyon to run for the terminal) and seyon-emu by setting a soft link up (see man ln) with the command line: ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/color_xterm /usr/X11R6/bin/seyon_emu This creates the seyon-emu (really a link to color_xterm) You don't even have to do this, tho, because seyon is smart enough, if it can't find 'seyon-emu' to execute, it gives that error message and executes xterm anyhow. Safe enough. Go looking for color_xterm (if you want) in the FreeBSD ports collection. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
