I am on a network, but didn't have physical access to other computers at the time (there not in the same building). Would an X server crash cause the total lock-up, and is there anything I could have done to bin X without restarting? If I want to access my computer from another (if it happens again), do I have to do anything in advance at this end, or can I just telnet in, and logon as usual? Thanks for your help Rich
