When running a telnet session from my Linux PC to a BSD box, I see the disk lamp go on, and I hear the disk go 'chack' each time I press a key on the keyboard! I can not reproduce this with any sort of coherence, although I believe it is related to my firewall settings ... but how? I dotn' know if this can really be called a bug, since it does not affect the functionality (to have this 'feature' removed would in any case be called a non-functional requirement) but I thought it worth mentioning as a folkloric item ... J. Atle Ramsli, programming in Beta, Icon and Flex/Flint for Wine. I am a verteran KMan programmer, and I also have some Comal experience. My first programming experience was on a 20-user ND-100 running SinTran, a mainstream operating system for supermini-computers.
