Sorry about the line lengths, but some of my other mail activities require the use of 132 columns for everything. I know what it's like to have to use elm in text mode on a vty or a real terminal without selectable line widths, so no prob dude. I'll have to post the dmesg later tonight or tomorrow, as I did have to reboot due to a netscape-6.10 issue involving the java-vm spawning a gazillion java-vm's and thrashing the system into swap [can you say "reset button"? I thought you could!]... I forgot to do a boot_verbose at the time. Needless to say, current handles such interruptions well... I wasn't sure if I'd have a system when I came up. I'll follow-up on this in a little bit. Kenneth D.
