I'm not sure that other methods wouldn't yield the same lockup. About the only idea I can come up with is to create a listening socket for Xastir to connect to. This would isolate Xastir from the hardware as well as tying into Xastir retry mechanisms for network ports. You should be able to yank the port out from under Xastir, restart it, and have Xastir reconnect to it. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
