I frequently dial into ditka from a vt340 pretending to be a vt100. After running uEmacs, rn, Elm, or just about anything else that does fancy-ish screen stuff, the 3.51a kernel goes into a mode where all output looks sort of like it's got the wrong baud rate (but not exactly). The Hot-Line folks said "Yup, it's hosed"; I switched back to the 3.51 kernel. With 3.51 I was seeing a fair number of the hung window manager problems until I got HDB and a TrailBlazer. Not sure which one did the trick, but I've only had one crash of any kind since then, and that was a memory parity error. -- Karl Swartz |UUCP {pacbell,emoryu1,decvax!formtek}!ditka!kls 1-412/937-4930 office | {pitt,psuvax1}!idis!formtek!ditka!kls |BIX kswartz "I never let my schooling get in the way of my education."
