Yes, it wouldn't build for me and I was short of time then to have a closer look.

Yes, that's the way I have always built syncterm. Usually I also do "sudo make install" when make is done and I am good to go.

Yes. When I build syncterm an a machine with out xorg or SDL it runs fine from the console. It doesn't have any desktop support (which is also nice) but works fine from the console.

I wish I would have dug in a bit more but I'll do that on the next go around.

Yep, I like minicom. I am about to get xmms installed. It needs an older version of glib installed. The source and a bunch of patches live in the slackware tree so I'll go grab it from there and try my luck.

I usually use vlc or audacious but xmms is nice too.
