Hi Jo Even Skarstein, on 12 Oct 99 you said:

Nothing runs after MiNT in my configuration; the last line of my MINT.CNF 
launches N.AES. I don't use the multi-user features... Nodody dares to touch my
Hades otherwise I bite!  ;-)

I think that I'll try to find RSVX.PRG... Patching MiNT is far beyond my 
knowledges in C --which are close to zero. <g>

I have both but I have no "con00" device. My shell windows are named from 
"ttyp0" to "ttyp9", and from "ttypa" to "ttyp-something". (I don't know the
end.) Since /dev/console is full screen for me, I'll choose /dev/ttyp0. I
logged once 2 users and played to send message from one user to the other
across the ttyp-windows. (It worked this way.) I dropped all the multi-user
stuff right after... I felt schyzophrenic!  ;-)

I meant: How to print it on screen? With NOS I'm used to type "ip addr" after 
it reports a connection. Sometimes things go slowly and I can check this way
that I have a valid IP before sending commands over the net.


See you later,
