Oh, I understand you now. Okay, yes, for RTCOMM, you'd have to edit the hosts file, but don't delete the 127.0.0.1 entry. That'd lead to some nasty problems down the road. I don't know what IP that pager server uses, but I'm sure munkey261 can post it later on when he posts again.

When and if he gives you that info (if you don't want to use Pidgin), then you'd need root access in X-Term before you can edit the file. A good ext editor, as mentioned in other page, is leafpad. I finally figured out how to work with it (durr to me) and it's pretty easy.

If you do decide to go this route for getting RTCOMM working with Yahoo! and you get the IP you need from munkey, do this:

1.) Go here "Gain root access" and follow the instructions. Best option is rootsh

2.) Go to the Application Manager (or OS2008 Downloads page) and get Leafpad.

3.) In X-Term, type root to gain root access and then type this out:
4.) Add the IP address and then the pager server address. Save.

Start up RTCOMM and try it out!
