Hmmm.... Curious. I've got a lame-o IDE 2.0.5-95 0622 system, and I see some occasional pauses too. Most notably as I mentioned earlier with the "talk" program. I *thought* I correlated it to receiving mail one day, but wasn't sure at all... Since I only ever run "talk" to the west coast, it could easily be a line probelm at the ISP on their end. Has anyone else seen talk display this freezing-up behaviour? Do I alone imagine it? Should I cut back on my (non-)Bass/Guiness drinking? :-) jdl
