Here's something weird. I'm not looking for an answer or a fix. I'm merely telling you about this so that when someone else says it happened to them you can say you've heard of it happening before. My box at home is running FreeBSD 2.1.0-950922-SNAP, connected to the network at work by PPP through ZOOM V.34 28.8K modems and a Cisco terminal server. It's not unusual for my PPP link to stay up for days at a time normally. >From work, if I rsh to my box and run netscape 2.0b1 with the display set to a machine here at work, I get an "unable to open display" error. With netscape 1.1 it runs for several seconds and then takes the PPP connection down. This has occured each and every time I've tried it. Other X programs connect to displays at work and run fine. Both versions of netscape run fine when connected to the local X server by Unix domain socket. I think netscapes running the other direction, i.e. from work to my box also work fine, I'll have to try again when I get home to be sure. -- Kaleb KEITHLEY
