I have two little questions that I thought I would ask the world: First, does anyone know how to make Kermit do auto-redial of a modem? This seems really trivial in theory, as Kermit has lots of neat features, but try as I might, I can't make the friggin' thing auto-redial to save my life! Second, I've been using the public domain version of X, and the mouse buttons keep changing their functions on me. At first, everything works fine, but when I try to run xman, all hell breaks loose. The buttons swithc around on me, and on one occasion, they stopped working entirely! Any help would be appreciated. --- Anthony Berno (aberno@questor.wimsey.bc.ca) The QUESTOR Project: Free Public Access to Usenet & Internet in Vancouver, BC, Canada, at +1 604 681 0670.

Should you wish to terminate the redialing before a connection is made, type the emergency escape sequence, "^C^C". -- _____ ____ Art Isbell |\ | | | | \ 315 Moon Meadow Lane NeXT Registered Developer | \ | ___ |____| | | Felton, CA isbell@ucscf.UCSC.EDU | \ | |___| | \ | | 95018-9442 (408)438-4736(B) | \| |___ | \ |___/ (408)335-1154(H)
