  James,

   never crashes for anyone else.  he doesn't even have to hit a key.)
 ask him to remove his socks before he gets near the keyboard. I have no 
 reason to believe it would have any effect, other than to see if he has holes 
 in his socks, but no other thing seem likly either.
 
 
 
  LOL!  I know how he feels...  I always claimed that I have an uncanny
  ability top find the most obscure bugs...  :^)

Note  He's the original founder of Wolengone (hope I spelled that
right)  The company that gave us such things as TCP/IP and more.  BTW
this is the only comp that hates him.  All others work just fine.  who
knows.

   It seems every time a new distro hits the street, one or more of my
   systems decides it wants attention...  yup...  I get weird problems,
   usually right after the latest distro has been downloaded -- this is
   not the first time...
  
   9.0 not yet installed anywhere when LM8.2 decides to act up --
   trying to transfer a file via scp causes my ppp link to hang -- it
   will not pass a single byte from any application.  Trying to send
   the same oowriter file via e-mail (from sylpheed) causes the ppp
   link to hang...  retried 7-8 times... same thing...  hangs after
   sending a few packets... go figure...
  
   kppp lights and modem lights confirm NOTHING is being sent.
  
   Not expecting any answer since this machine will get 9.0 in about 3
   weeks -- just thought I'd pass on my latest New Distro Twilight Zone
   episode...
  
   :^Pierre
  are we sure that file you are trying to send or copy is not open
  (and being added to or written to) to some user some where?
 
 Yup...  besides...  I can scp the file to a LAN attached laptop; but not
 over ppp to my remote server.  This machine can't email large files, yet
 receives the same file fine which was sent via ppp from the laptop
 (reversed the roles of the desktop/laptop for the test).
 
 I had ppp0 up when I configured the desktop for 'sharing' earlier
 today...  at the time, the link dropped and I could hear the modem dial
 out several times to an invalid number (modem speaker is normally off)
 -- finished the sharing config and all seemed fine except for this new
 problem...  
 
 Oh well...  will be installing 9.0 next time I visit this box in a few
 weeks...

Pierre,
