Gary > Hi Gary, You may have already gotten responses to this, but here goes: I would suggest you get a copy of GNU's screen 3.5.2 from cdrom.com in the packages or ports directory. Once installed, this program will allow you to open up multiple virtual sessions from your initial login session. It even works over dial-in modem lines. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Webster Network Manager / Special Projects Dataradio Inc. 200-5500 Royalmount Ave. TEL: +1 514 737 0020 Town of Mount Royal, QC, CANADA H4P 1H7 FAX: +1 514 737 7883 http://www.dataradio.com Email: awebster@dataradio.com
