Well, all the ``files'' up to /stand/ls aren't files, but only hard links for a single file that will just follow then. The file is rather large (perhaps half a megabyte or so), and that's where the real work for your network card is starting. (Everything before was just kidding, only a few bytes in either direction.) If nothing happens then, something in your network setup seems to be broken (or perhaps the network driver -- what card are you using?). -- 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. ;-)
