Thank you for the report

I am in a rural place far from my laptop.
I'll investigate the problem on Monday.

However you could run:
# pkg install dialog4ports
and adding
DIALOG4PORTS=${LOCALBASE}/bin/dialog4ports
to /etc/make.conf you can use the previous utility instead of portconfig to
set up ports options via a TUI.

Please next time open a new issue to https://gitlab.com/alfix/portconfig to
report a problem about portconfig.

Alfonso

What is happening:<br>
I am starting a shell script. That fires up a bhyve. In the bhyve &#39;make=
&#39;<br>
is run with stdio connected to the second COM.<br>
In the script on the host, bhyve is put in background, &#39;cu&#39; is star=
ted<br>
and connected to that second COM. There the dialog appears.<br>
Since the script on the host is run from remote, it is run within<br>
tmux.<br>
Point is: it did work before.<br>
