If so, how do I set them up and access them ? : Do I have to configure a kernel for them (I did manage to make a new kernel). I don't know if NetBSD has these virtual consoles built in, but I compiled screen for my NetBSD machine which provides a similar functionality I think but it works on any terminal - I am using screen in an xterm window! I think the latest version of screen is screen-3.5.2.tar.gz and archie should find it for you.. ]ain -- ]ain
