Recalling from the RH62 days, there should be an app called 'open' or maybe 'openvt'. It'll spawn a new instance of bash ($SHELL, or whatever you want, if you invoke it correctly) on the next free virtual terminal (usualy your tty+1, eg: tty2, tty3, ... etc). I don't have handy access to a FC box, or I'd poke at it a little. Good luck, Scott Edwards Daxal Communications - http://www.daxal.com Surf the USA - http://www.surfthe.us
