Have a question which I can't figure out: I have a modem [isa [PnP, but jumpers are set [PnP is off]], com4/cuaa3], I dial out to isp, everything is working great [this is done as root]. When I login with a regular user account, and then type 'startx', this resets my modem [resets= makes it hang up], so basically I have to dial back out after starting X. This only occurs when I startx, after it's started and I dial back out, I can then switch between X, and console all day long and it wont' do anything to the modem...So the question is: How come a regular user can make my modem hang up just like that?, It's just annoying if I'm on console and decide to surf the web with Netscape, I have to re-dial my ISP. [Not sure, but I think it also did this in linux]. Someone had suggested that it can be X initializing my mouse? [ps/2]. Any ideas, or has anyone ever heard of this before? www.nul.cjb.net www.freebsd.org _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
