Using > your own argument you are just giving money to Deutsche Telekom... I start Emacs at work and let it (X11) display on my home machine. I have a dynamic ip address. Thus, when the ISDN thingy hangs up on me, the Emacs session is disrupted rather rudely. Thus, I want the connection to stay open (even if it costs money) while I stare at a program started interactively, but I also want the ability to hang up the phone when I feel like it. I'm open to other suggestions, though -- maybe there's something wrong with my thinking. kai -- I like _b_o_t_h kinds of music.
