I've been running tin-1.22 for months (no, not continuously) without problems relating to FreeBSD. tin seems to hang if the connection is flaky, but that's just due to a long timeout and doesn't affect the machine as a whole, so I'd say it's not tin. Any diagnostics in /var/log/messages or on the console? Problems with other networking programs (gopher, Mosaic)? tg
