Ok, I got that issue resolved!

Now I can't seem to get it to automatically load into console mode (dsl 2) with no prompt at startup.  

Can anyone help?  I'm not turning much up searching the forums.

Ok, now that I have this working, I have another question.
I suppose this isn't specific to DSL, but none the less I need to know how to do it.

Basically I need the tn5250 to run on the console (AS400 display session), and I need another program called lp5250d (AS400 printer session) to run either in the background, or on a second hidden console.  Both of these should be automatically run at start up.  I already have the display session working.

I'll love to know the details of this project when you get everything running. Our company's main system is the AS400.

BuGaLoU, you can run programs in the background by following the command with an ampersand (&) on the same line.  Like

lp5250d &

the ps show all of your running programs.  You can use fg job afterwords to bring that job back to the foreground if you need to.

Hope this helps.
