I've been too busy to keep up with these groups. [Setup: 486/33, 8megs, SCSI, FreeBSD 1.0 Release, XFree86 2.0] 1. When I quit out of my X server (XF86_S3), the console is hung. I know that under earlier version of XFree86 and FreeBSD there was a way to fix this involving /dev/vga. That didn't work this time. What am I missing? 2. SLIP either has a really small inactivity timeout (about 2 minutes) or there is a problem with my SLIP setup. The slattach reports getting a SIGHUP, the connection dies, and then starts the redial script. This only seems to happen after I haven't used the connection for about 2 minutes.
