I'm starting to hear this come up more and more now; my version of dosemu
also does this (through Procomm Plus) I'm going to try a few things here
and see what I can get but I think it might be a bug. Red Hat must have
really wanted to be on the cutting edge with 6.0 because they included a
developer version. You might have to download 98.7 and do a rpm -ivh
packagename -oldpackage.
hope this helps...
