I submitted several patches to the author which found its way into the distribution. I was too busy elsewhere when the beta of TNOS 2.30 was out, so its not a perfect clean compile right out of the box. Almost... I was going to put together a patch this afternoon, but didn't. FreeBSD's slattach won't attach to a pty, last time I tried it. Something to do with the pty not being as complete as a tty. Failed with in an ioctl for setting process group or some such. Linking TNOS's IP stack to FreeBSD's becomes more difficult than it should. I got a PPP link running once thru a pty. And didn't know how I did it afterwards to repeat. A pair of hardware serial ports with a null modem cable works. To get started with TNOS, subscribe to the mail lists at the above site. Download the Linux binaries, and possibly the sources. To get a running system you have to have the directory tree created by the Linux binary distribution, or you have to figure it out yourself. I haven't tried running the Linux binary of TNOS under FreeBSD. Until I ditched my non-FPU NexGen, I didn't have a system capable of running Linux emulation. About the only thing special you need to compile TNOS is gmake. Get it from ports or packages. Lately I've been using kermit for packet radio. 73, -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
