g'day everyone :)

i've managed to get iijppp  (user ppp) working after a fashion, however 
if for any reason the line drops out and i dial again, i get a 
connection ok, ppp changes to PPP, but i get an error 
SIOCAIFADDR: file exists, and i can't ping or telnet from another 
session. Any clues?

also what web browsers do people use from XFree86? i've installed mosaic 
but would like netscape, however i'm having a few problems. i downloaded 
the port, did make GOLD=yes and it downloaded for ages and then said 
invalid checksum and wouldn't actually install it. is there a better way 
of getting netscape (ie: is there a package anywhere i can grab?)

is there a hotkey combination that allows you to switch from XFree86 to 
my bash sessions that i already had running? where is the best place to 
look for some general how to use XFree86, i've had a bit of a look at 
their home pages but can't find a general user type guide.

thanks in advance
