I know this has been talked about before, but I have a new twist. I have a MacIIx with a ethernet board and a Mac SE with a Kinetics ether card. I have tried several screen savers (flex,m0ire,ect) and all of these seen to cause the SE to hang when NCSA Telnet is running with open connections. On the other hand, the MAC IIx has no trouble. At first, I thought this might be because of the memory manager on the IIx, but now I beleive this is due to the way the hardware is connected. I am not a computer hardware person, but the SE ether card is connected to the port and the IIx is not, so does the configeration of the IIX respond the the packets set by the connected hosts differently than the SE. If the IIx's board can respond to packest even when other applications are running, this could explain why is doesn't hang. on the other hand, the SE card may not respond to packets when other applications are running. Is any of this correct? Is there a way to have the SE keep connections alive even when a screen saver is running? Thanks in advance.

You might have an old version of flex or moire. The latest version of moire (v 2.22) does not hand NCSA telnet. The old version used to, unless you are running multifinder and NCSA telnet is not foreground process.
