Don't hold me to that, but I think it'd be relatively easy to adopt to it. You'd require Tcl and tk, needless to say.... Meanwhile, I've moved on to the nice XISP, which uses and requires xforms, and does all I want: including displaying progress messages... It also has a decent set of instructions (unusual, in my experience) of how to set up correct group permissions and ownership for pppd and chat et alia. .... but that's all off-topic.... -- peterm -- Peter G.
