Even so, 30 seconds strikes me as too long to set up a telnet connection over any slow link. Guess if you find that problem you'll fix the problem with FreeBSD too. Mentioned this in a reply several weeks ago but in my early days with FreeBSD I was installing everything that was offered. So on installation when it offered Kerberos, I accepted. Didn't have a Kerberos server so a telnet connection took a couple of minutes to timeout before falling back to the "normal" way. Believe it at least printed an error message saying that was what was happening. Finally in frustration I used the Universal Windows Repair Tool (tm), FDISK.EXE. Didn't make the same mistake on reinstallation of FreeBSD. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
