Problems with : other networking programs (gopher, Mosaic)? No diagnostics - the machine just stops dead with the display frozen and no response from the keyboard. There don't seem to be problems with other network programs. I've also experience the machine locking up while doing a <ctrl><alt>Fn switch between X and a text tty. ______________________________________ |Brendt Wohlberg | |Department of Electrical Engineering | |University of Cape Town | |e-mail: brendt@dip1.ee.uct.ac.za | |______________________________________|
