Don't worry about it. I'm pretty sure it's based on process group ownerships and such, but it is harmless. There is probably a way to avoid it by running it with a controlling terminal or some-such, but it wouldn't allow it to run automatically then. What exactly was the problem with the modem not working? Nate
