I did this recently. Grab syncterm-1.1-src.tgz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/syncterm

Unpack that archive keeping directories intact.

Go into that directory and cd src/syncterm

run make "RELEASE=1" and if that is successful "sudo make RELEASE=1 install".

You'll need gcc and friends installed for that to work. The build-essential meta package will do that on debian derivitives.

Syncterm runs well here on the console and desktop nicely.

Here it is!

Yes, it is a step by step process.

Not that I know of. Binkd runs nicely on linux. If your tosser can use a BSO outbound, that is what I would use. It's not as pretty as FD but it works well.

I hope you get that running well.
