In 2.2.x the termcap lib is found by configure. In 3.x, the ncurses is used, IIRC. With the termcap lib, ttytpe can be resolved; with ncurses not. BTW, runsocks works really.

Ok, I see, I won't have luck with my wish for 2.2.x :-) However, if there are enhancements or changes being made in order to bring it into the 3.x or 4.x tree, please make a short note if these changes are incompatible with 2.2.x. As I said before, I still can't use 3.x on a lot of machines here so I have to stick with 2.2.x for a while.

Well, before it is committed I would like to see one of you FreeBSD wizards to check it over for a half hour first. My experience with FreeBSD is one of rock-solid performance.
