I always open at least one `xterm' with messages on for accepting messages and talk requests, and I use scripts for automatically disallowing messages in terminals running mail and news readers... But I don't want to restart your lengthy discussion again. :) Michael -- Email: hohmuth@inf.tu-dresden.de WWW: http://www.inf.tu-dresden.de/~mh1/
