A lot of good questions, to which I don't have all of the answers. --------- Received message begins Here ---------

I'm doing mail from a Windows program and only use the Linux-ppp connection for ftp and telnet. I had a ftp going at the time and maybe a telnet session, but that's about all. I don't even have news configured. > > Anything relevant in any of the files in /var/log?

I was running X and had popped up an xterm on my local machine from my local machine. I then simply did a vi on a local file. No network involve as far as I could tell. The errors appeared for a while then my vi session started. When I quit vi, I got a few more and then dropped back to the shell prompt. > > ttfn/rjk > > Thanks for the help. I'll poke around a bit more and see what I can find.
