Subject: logging -> 2 questions
1. I have been running minicom to capture all the calls from our
phone system into /dev/ttyS1. Works good, but I have been wondering
if there is another way to do this as a background process and
have the info captured to a file. I have tried: 'minicom -C file &'
but minicom doesn't flush out to the file consistently. Any ideas?

2. I would like to begin tracking the volume going thru my 'firewall'
by logging all the packets. I used to use the accounting (A, I beleive)
rule in ipfwadm in the older kernel, but with ipchains I am having
a tough time. I know this should be simple, but could someone
throw me a bone?
