I have the problem that with FreeBSDs isdn (i4b) my rlogin (ssh) sessions die (are rendered unusable - lock o' city) regularly when the idle timer drops the connection. A subsequent awaking of the connection results in a different IP address being assigned from the ISP. Strangely Netscape does not suffer from this phenomenon. -- Chris Christoph P. U.
