Thanks for the explanations ! As you can see with my poor question (about `intr'), I'm not a wizard...
But I'm still on Slink with a kernel 2.0.36 (with a modem connection, the upgrade to potato is, at the moment, a PITA), and never had the problem : the TIMEOUT works. So I will close the bug with the synthesis of your explanations. Best regards, -- Thierry LARONDE [EMAIL PROTECTED] website : http://www.polynum.com
