You have to MAKEDEV it. Yes, this was it. At least that was the MAJOR stumbling block. After figuring that out, the problem was still adequate software. Someone pointed me at 'minicom' which is on cdrom.com. Its GREAT, it was a pleasure to use ZMODEM to download the XFree distribution AND source distribution unattended :-). Now that I have XFree up and running I am using 'seyon' and I am in hog heaven. I think this is the nicest package I've ever used!! Thanks to everyone who responded. Now I have another TOTALLY unrelated question. For some reason I haven't figured out when my system boots its getting the local time wrong. Looks like it might be a timezone issue but I'm not sure. Can anyone point me at what's wrong? Later, -- Jack F. Vogel Sun Microsystems Inc. jackv@Sun.COM
