I connect to my ISP with a 33.6kbps modem. My problem is that I get very
poor response when I use Telnet. I believe that this is due to latency
problems. I've read somewhere that in Linux, telnet is set to low-latency
to improve responsiveness. How to find out what the settings are on my
system.

Just recently I wrote to the lists about my problems with the XKB

I decided to upgrade to Hamm release version.
Now XKB bindings seem to work alright, but I get an error message right
after the xserver output. Its goes like
no clue yet. I suspect the problem will be solve once someone
can tell me what socket 177 is. Incidentally, kdm give the same message.

I'm using bash 2.0 from the base installation. I notices that if the line
that I type exceeds the wide of the screen, instead of going down to the
next line, it goes to the start of the same line, thus obliterating the

This occurs in Xterm as well. Bash 1.4 and oth

The problem is that the script needs Long.pm, which (I think), is a Perl
