I am running a fresh install on a PIII (i686).  There is a problem with 
the binary install version too.  It segfaults when loaded.

I am trying again after rebuilding my ports and it is already past pulse 
audio, so that looks hopeful.

Thanks Diane,

I was hopping to use TLF on FBSD for field day.  Also, do you know of a 
rtty ap that is capable of FSK in linux/BSD?  It looks like everything is 
based on sound card AFSK which is terrible for contesting.  I have been 
looking at hamcomm31 this is ancient dos stuff, but it runs good under 
dosbox.  I have not had a chance to test the direct com port access under 
FreeBSD for dosbox.  It looks like a neat little program if direct access 
works.
