Some sort of config file which could be used to generate a program? In the short term, perl, but perhaps C templates could be worked out. Maybe as a separate package - lessopen-c, depending on a c compiler? Dan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

( For those of you who don't know, it makes WWIV > style login screens possible ... ) There's two issues here. First of all, lightbar is also hideously messy and moderately insecure code - it has a couple of buffer overflows, for instance, not to mention it offends my sense of the esthetics of code. Plus, it's based on a login and telnetd that are VERY old. If you feel like hacking it into the new login.c (from shadow-97blah), go right ahead. In my spare time I'm working on a replacement (perhaps to be called deblogin?) which will apply itself as a patch to a copy of login.c.

Re: ppp: how to tell the connection speed?
Most (all?) modems support ATW1, which produces a message of the form 'CARRIER 14400'. That's probably the text you want. Perhaps you can get chat to save that line for you.
