How would I get a remote host to write something to my workstation, behind NAT and a firewall? I think having this facility would be great, but the titlebar bugs we saw some years ago showed us, again, that inline signalling is bad. If there's a way to do this as an out-of-band signal, I'd be all for it. As for those who say «you can be DoS-ed», well, you already can, if there's a rougue application it can send you loads of data, it can force titlebar changes all the time, etc. cheers, -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
