I found out the difference this morning -- /dev/xconsole is a duplicate of /var/log/messages. Some messages may only occur in either syslog or messages. I noticed this when I didn't get any chat or pppd messages, because I was looking at syslog. Switching to /dev/xconsole gave me the info which was identical to /var/log/messages. HTH, -D
