I don't know if they can be broken out to something more standard or if the system needs anything special that the NCR terminals provide. * I gather it runs a pretty much stock version of UNIX; I think this system is Pre-AT&T buyout. * NetBSD mentions it on their "suggested ports" page. There's like a paragraph there that sums up the machine pretty well, too. -Sean Caron (root(a)diablonet.net) | http://www.diablonet.net
