If you stop the process (by running a subshell, or by typing ^Z), how do you think it will be able to transfer your packets? If you have only a single terminal (serial line, for example), you can ^Z, and `bg' it immediately. Otherwise, use a different VT or xterm to test the link. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
