I'm sure I've got one box (not here, so I can't check) without gpm & one box with. On the box *without*, console mouse works better than it does on the one *with* gpm, particularly when I'm shelled in. As I recall, on the box _with_ gpm, I can't use the mouse _at all_ when I'm shelled in from another machine. If anyone could explain this, or why my memory must be fooling me, I would be much indebted. Stroller. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
